A concept related to the missed approach point is the visual descent point (VDP).Determination of its location is done by the designers of the instrument approach procedure, but typically this is a point on the final approach course of a non-precision approach, from which the aircraft would be able to continue its descent from the MDA to the runway threshold while maintaining a standard 3 ...
Generally, if a pilot determines by the time the aircraft is at the decision height (for a precision approach) or missed approach point (for a non-precision approach), that the runway or its environment is not in sight, [a] or that a safe landing cannot be accomplished for any reason, the landing approach must be discontinued and the missed ...
The published NDB approach brings the inbound aircraft down a valley, and has a minimum descent height of 2,150 ft (660 m) at the missed approach point (where they should have climbed and turned to the right if the runway was not in view), which is below the elevation of the hills to the north. The runway is at 510 ft (160 m) above sea level.
An onboard navigation system displays a constant rate descent path to minimums. The VNAV path is computed using aircraft performance, approach constraints, weather data, and aircraft weight. The approach path is computed from the top of descent point to the end of descent waypoint, which is typically the runway or missed approach point. [1]
Flight procedures linked to an aerodrome are specified as arrival, departure or approach procedure (usually linked with missed approach procedure). Different types of instrumental flight procedures can be recognized: STAR (standard terminal arrival route) SID (standard instrument departure)

The missed approach track is shown as a thin hash marked line with a directional arrow. Missed approach icons are in the upper left or right of the profile view. [1]: 16–25 Landing minimum are listed for either a straight-in landing, or a circling-to-land, for each aircraft approach category.
