Key Takeaways:

The RNAV (GPS) Runway 1 approach at Finger Lakes Regional Airport (0G7) features a standard T-bar configuration for flexible transitions.
It unusually lists three approach control frequencies (Syracuse, Rochester, Elmira) due to the airport's location at multiple sector confluences, in addition to a unicom frequency for the non-towered field.
The missed approach procedure is non-standard, directing pilots to turn left and head back to the HADCI waypoint for holding rather than continuing straight.
Pilots must use the local AWOS-3 altimeter setting to avoid increased DA/MDA and visibility minimums, and the approach is restricted to slower aircraft in categories A and B (up to 121 knots).
