Say you're flying this approach and you have a strong wind from the North west? Do you deviate from the missed approach procedure to intercept the radial (JOT 347) north of VAINS or do you follow the instructions explicitly and intercept the radial WHEREVER YOU INTERCEPT IT and then direct VAINS.

    According to the FAA, you don’t need to make wind correction after takeoff/missed.

    According to ICAO, you must make wind correction so as to stay on the extended center line.

    If I were to fly this approach and go miss, I will track on the extended center line till reaching 1500 ft, then climbing right turn to intercept R347 JOT and hold as published.

    If you don’t make wind correction, you must watch out not to overshoot R347 JOT.

    The missed is designed so that you don’t hit an obstruction if you fly described headings. After all, it’s designed for being in the clouds with only a VOR and you’re not expected to whip out an E6B to calculate a wind correction while on a missed.

    That said, if you have the equipment to fly a specific track for this procedure or want to make a small correction for a strong crosswind, there’s certainly no hard in doing it

    I have a different understanding for a missed approach than being assigned a heading on departure. On a missed approach, if there is a straight ahead segment, it is an extension of the final approach path which is a course and not a heading.

    I have the same understanding as you, John.

    But perhaps it helps to look at the procedure. Mike’s question is not about the initial straight ahead climb along the extended final approach course. It is about the next step which specifically says, “via heading 120″ for the interception to the radial leading to the MAHF.
