Until this approach, I had not encountered a non-precision approach without
a published missed approach point. Is this more common than my experience has provided to date? almost every VOR-A with the VOR at the airport. Instrument flying Handbook 8-20: In nonprecision approaches, a final descent is initiated at the FAF, or after completing the procedure turn and established inbound on the procedure course. The FAF is clearly identified by use of the Maltese cross symbol in the profile view. When the FAF is not indicated in the profile view, the MAP is based on station passage when the facility is on the airport or a specified distance (e.g., VOR/DME or GPS procedures). In nonprecision procedures, the pilot determines the MAP by timing from FAF when the approach aid is well away from the airport, by a fix or NAVAID when the navigation facility is located on the field, or by waypoints as defined by GPS or VOR/DME RNAV. |
