How is the Missed Approach Point represented on a non-precision approach chart?

  1. As an altitude callout in bold

  2. An icon indicating the miss and go

  3. At the end of the highlighted segment

  4. Identified by geographical waypoints

The correct answer is: Identified by geographical waypoints

On a non-precision approach chart, the Missed Approach Point is identified by geographical waypoints, which are usually depicted as specific points along the approach path. These waypoints help pilots navigate during the missed approach procedure, providing clear guidance for where to go if the approach cannot be completed successfully. In a non-precision approach, there isn't typically a specific altitude mentioned for the Missed Approach Point, and other representations such as icons or bold callouts are not used. Instead, geographical waypoints offer precise navigational points that pilots can recognize and use to safely execute a missed approach. These waypoints allow for the effective management of lateral navigation, ensuring pilots have a clear reference for their actions in case of a missed approach.
