A few days ago I made a post about using heading vs. track when doing missed approaches and takeoffs into strong crosswinds.
Could we please look at West Palm Beach (KPBI) ILS 27R? The missed approach states, climb to 520 (I think) and turn to .... etc. etc. It doesn't mention anything about flying a specific heading such as runway heading, etc. Therefore, I would perform the missed in the following manner. I would TRACK runway heading to 520 and then turn as assigned. TRACK meaning, I would use my magenta ground track indicator to track a heading of 276 deg or use the Localizer Back Course indicator to make sure my ground track matched the extended runway centerline for RWY 27R to 520'. This would be as oppossed to flying the runway heading to 520.' In light wind conditions, differing techniques wouldn't matter. However, in a strong crosswind, the differing techniques would matter. Is this the way everyone else would perform the missed as well?
