Missed approach: climb on track 358°M to 3,100′, then RIGHT turn direct NBS NDB and hold, right turns, 1-minute legs, inbound 358°M, maintain 3,100′.
Notes: ADF required. The beacon carries no DME - identify NF36L to MAP by timing (table below) or GPS distance. Course reversal at NI36L; the missed approach returns to the NBS beacon - the whole procedure flies on the ADF alone.

The story of NASA Launch Surfside

NASA's Launch Surfside airport is locally known as Yeager Surfside after the famous Ace pilot Chuck Yeager. You can also pull up to Howard Hugh's Hideaway where they serve fine refreshements and host a variety of entertainment. This facility is a private air club for all Test Pilots and Ace pioneers from across the world.
