How is the missed approach point identified when executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 36 approach?

The missed approach point for an RNAV (GPS) RWY 36 approach is identified when the TO-FROM indicator changes. This indicator helps pilots understand the transition from being in a navigation segment that is directing them towards the runway, to one that indicates they have passed the missed approach point and should now execute the missed approach procedure if they are not landing.

This transition is crucial because it serves as a clear, unambiguous signal for the pilot to determine the appropriate action, such as initiating a climb or performing a diversion if they are unable to land. Other methods of identification, like visual references, altitude alerts, or specific waypoints, may not offer the same clarity or reliability in indicating the exact point to transition to the missed approach procedure, thus making the change in TO-FROM indicator the most direct and effective method in this context.
