While looking at the various instrument approaches for Napa Valley (KAPC), I noticed a discrepancy between the RNAV (GPS) Y/Z RWY36L missed approaches and the ILS/LOC RWY36L approach:
Why is it that the ILS approach is able to use a turning missed approach to keep pilot and plane clear of the high ground to the north, but the RNAV approaches to the same runway force you to either have visual contact with the high ground early, or outclimb it? To me, it'd make more sense to have the RNAV procedures use a similar missed approach to the ILS, as then you could have an all-aircraft RNAV procedure with low minima, vs. one with high minima that works for everyone and one with low minima that requires a significant (more than twice the norm) missed approach climb rate.
