COURSE TO FIX

In a missed approach procedure, the fix immediately following the MAP (in this case ‘6368

FT

’) is not part

of the published procedure. It is simply a fix that defines a leg which guides the aircraft along the runway
centerline until the required altitude to make the first turn on the missed approach is exceeded. In this case, if
the aircraft altitude is below the specified altitude (6,368 feet) after crossing the MAP, a direct-to is established
to this fix until an altitude of 6,368 feet reached. After reaching 6,368 feet, a direct-to is established to the
published fix (in this case MOGAL). If the aircraft altitude is above the specified altitude after crossing the
MAP, a direct-to is established to the published fix (MOGAL) to begin the missed approach procedure. The
altitude constraint value defaults to 400 feet AGL when the fix is not part of the published procedure.

In some missed approach procedures this altitude fix may be part of the published procedure. If the

aircraft altitude is lower than this prescribed altitude, a direct-to is established to this fix when the missed
approach procedure is activated.
