Reviving an old thread.
Does anyone actually have these alternate missed 8620's at their facility? If so, where are they kept? Local has easy access to them?
This is not the same thing as "climb out" instructions for an aircraft doing multiple instrument approaches, correct?
If the MA is "hdg130, maintain 020" and I say "climb out instructions:fly heading 210 and maintain 030" I'm legal? My facility doesn't need to have the normal climb out's we issue on this form somewhere? I remember an instructor at RTF saying the facility should have the 8620 for issuing "alternate instructions", but once I got back no one has ever mentioned this.
I've never seen one or heard of it before.
But yes, you're legal giving any heading and altitude you want to an aircraft on the go.
First facility, we didn't have any missed approach instructions in our SOP/LOA. Approach controller issued any heading/altitude and it was ARTS/STARS coordinated.
Second facility, in our SOP and LOA with the neighboring towers and flight training wings, we had coded departure instructions. For example, tell the pilot "your missed approach (or climbout, or on the go) fly the River 2." Pilot completes the approach and flies heading 300 and 4,000'. Approach wasn't restricted to the coded departures, but they would just require manual coordination with tower to let them know what the aircraft is doing on the missed.
