But, when are you required to execute the missed approach procedure?
Wasn't the missed approach point when you hit DA on the glide slope?

It's true in general that if you start the missed approach procedure other
than at the MAP, you're not assured of obstacle/terrain clearance. But in
this case (HKS ILS 16), the missed approach procedure is consistent with and
stricter than the DP for that runway. So as long as Allen crossed the
departure threshold at 35' AGL or higher (and climbed at at least 200' per
nautical mile), he was fine.
