We are getting a brand new ILS 26 at KANE and I just downloaded the
plate. The miss is what I expected to see and is a hold at the GEP
"Gopher" VOR a few miles to the west. But there is also a hold depicted
at the PNM NDB, which is a long ways away. That hold is not mentioned
on the plate.

I am wondering why it is there. My only guess is that it might be an
alternate hold that ATC could assign if things were busy at GEP. GEP is
the FAF for at least two other approaches and is on at least one STAR
into KMSP.

Anyone?


Where the procedure has two missed approach procedures (only the primary
one is charted) there is a fairly recent policy change to chart the
holding pattern at the end of the second/alternate missed approach
procedure.

Jeppesen lables them as such. I have no idea whether NACO does. They
certainly didn't with this one.

I'll get ahold of the Jepp chart soon and let you know.
