When should a pilot begin the missed approach procedure if the runway is not in sight when cleared for the OCF VOR 36 approach straight in?

To analyze the missed approach requirement for the OCF VOR RWY 36 straight-in, we must first identify where the missed approach point (MAP) is defined on this procedure.

Option 1: 'Upon crossing the OCF VORTAC' — This corresponds to the MAP for this approach. The chart indicates the missed approach point is defined at the VORTAC location, so you initiate the missed approach as you pass over the OCF VORTAC if the runway is not in sight.

Option 2: '2.7 DME from OCF' — This would be a distance-based MAP, but the published MAP for this straight-in VOR approach is not defined at 2.7 DME. Using 2.7 DME would not align with the charted MAP, and initiating the missed at that distance could occur too early or too late relative to the published procedure.

Option 3: '1.7 DME from OCF' — Similar to option 2, this is another distance-based value that does not match the chart’s MAP definition. Relying on 1.7 DME would not reflect the official missed approach point for this procedure.

Option 4: 'Upon reaching 640 ft' — Altitude alone is not the MAP for this approach. While minimums and altitude steps exist during the approach, the MAP is not determined by reaching a specific altitude; you must identify the MAP geometry (in this case, crossing the OCF VORTAC) to commence the missed approach.

In summary, the correct procedure relies on the documented MAP, which for this VOR RWY 36 straight-in is the point at which you cross the OCF VORTAC. The other options propose alternative MAP definitions (distance-based or altitude-based) that do not correspond to the published missed approach point for this approach.
