When on the missed approach on the APC ILS runway 36 left, what route should the pilot fly?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the published missed approach procedure for the APC ILS runway 36L. To reason through the options, first recall the standard steps shown on the missed approach note in the procedure plate: you begin by climbing to a specified altitude, then proceed to a designated navigation aid, and finally establish a hold in a defined pattern and on a specified radial.

Option A: Direct to SGD and then outbound on the 162 radial to hold at FESAV. This option mentions going direct to SGD, which is plausible as a VOR/DME fix, but specifies the 162 radial and hold at FESAV. The published leg to SGD is accurate in the sense of directing to SGD, but the radial and hold fix do not align with the standard missed approach routing shown on the chart, which uses the 230 radial and BURDE hold in the published text. Therefore, this selection appears inconsistent with the plate’s stated course/hold details.

Option B: Climb to 500’ MSL, then make a left climbing turn to 3,200’ MSL direct to the SGD VOR and then outbound on the 230 radial to hold at BURDE. This option mirrors the exact sequence described in the missed approach notes: initial climb to 500 feet, then a left turn to 3,200 feet, direct SGD VOR, followed by outbound on the 230-degree radial to BURDE for the hold. The altitude steps (500 then 3,200) and the fix (SGD VOR) with the outbound radial (230) and hold at BURDE are all consistent with the published procedure.

Option C: Direct to BURDE to hold. This option truncates the procedure by skipping the initial climb and the SGD VOR leg, and it also specifies BURDE as the hold fix directly. The chart’s missed approach requires routing to SGD first and then the outbound leg on 230 to BURDE, not a direct BURDE hold, so this is not compliant with the chart.

Option D: Climb to 3200 MSL, then make a left turn direct to the SGD VOR and then outbound on the 230 radial to hold at BURDE. While this option mentions SGD and the 230 radial, it starts by climbing directly to 3,200 MSL instead of first leveling at 500 then climbing to 3,200 on a left-turn, which is a subtle but important difference. The published sequence specifies an initial climb to 500 and then a left climbing turn to 3,200, so skipping the 500 ft step makes this option misstate the exact missed approach altitude profile. Also the phrasing “climb to 3200 MSL” without the intermediate 500 ft segment contradicts the chart.

In summary, Option A is inconsistent with the chart’s hold fix and radial, Option C omits the SGD VOR leg and uses BURDE directly, and Option D misstates the altitude sequence by starting at 3,200 without the required initial 500 ft climb. Option B faithfully reproduces the charted sequence: climb to 500’ MSL, left turn to 3,200’ MSL, direct SGD VOR, then outbound on the 230 radial to BURDE for the hold, matching the published missed approach routing.

Note: The reasoning above references the standard missed approach structure typical of instrument approaches where a fix-to-fix route and a specific hold pattern are defined, including altitude steps and radial-based holding.
