OB322: A Slippery Mountain Missed

Episode 322 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: On this week's show, AG and RH discuss a complicated missed approach procedure in mountainous terrain.  How can a pilot prepare to safely navigate terrain during a missed approach initiated beyond the missed approach point?  Can the pilot fly the obstacle departure procedure?  What happens if they are too low to speak to ATC?  We share our opinion on this complicated procedure and try our best to provide some tips on safely dealing with the scenario in real life.
