Chart Wise: Going Missed

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

Pilots sometimes overlook missed approach procedures because they don’t expect to have to execute them. But it’s crucial to understand and comply with all missed approach instructions. The entire missed approach procedure will be written textually in the briefing strip at the top of the approach plate. The procedure above has a lengthy missed approach description. Be sure to pay close attention to the details of the verbiage as this could be the difference in preventing a violation or, worse, hitting an obstacle.
