"Successful go around improbable" (NDB approach)
That's a notice I haven't seen before on an approach plate. (flightaware.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think many of you are confusing 'missed approach' and 'go-around'. Initiating a missed approach passed the MAP is never recommended, as the missed approach procedure assumes a certain climb gradient from the MAP. Once you're passed the MAP, any go-around should take into consideration the departure procedure for the runway in question. In this case, there is none.
I was the commander of this AFS back in the 70's....have seen many C-124, C-130, and DC-6 aircraft land and takeoff from our "ski slope" ... Note the slope. I was also the commander at Sparrevohn for a short time also....challenging approaches all! Great tribute to he Alaska flight crews out of "the Fort" .... (Elmendorf)

700' AGL (above ground level) 1273 is ASL(Above Sea Level)
...if initiated post MAP... that´s the full truth!!! So always stick to procedures!
