The published missed for the RNAV (GPS) RWY 04 at KROC says "Climb to 3000
direct CISON WP and via 098(degree) track to BREIT WP and hold". I'm
trying to think why they'd put in that "098 track" thing instead of just
saying "direct BRIET WP". The plan view makes it look like after crossing
CISON you'd have to fly about 135 degrees to intercept the 098 track
somewhere before BRIET. Are they trying to keep you clear of that 1030'
obstacle just north west of BREIT? I was reading it as if you had to be
at 3000' before you got to CISON, but I suppose you could read it that
you're still on your way up to 3000' on the way between CISON and BREIT?

Probably right, but also, the more specific instructions they give, the less
you need to calc-on-the-fly during a MA.

This is an RNAV (GPS) approach, so direct to the next waypoint is going to
involve considerably fewer calculations that trying to intercept a track.

Personally, I think whoever wrote that missed approach procedure forgot
that BREIT isn't an NDB any more.
