    $\begingroup$ Can you give an example of when the MAP says to turn immediately when you are on a precision approach? I can’t think of any offhand but I don’t fly where it’s flat, so that may be why. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 21, 2017 at 23:05

    $\begingroup$ @JScarry I'll see if I can find it, but I came across it when doing some approaches on simulator a while back at various locations in US. I thought to myself, thats kind of scary (no pun intended). But maybe I mis-remembered it. All the approaches I remember form my time in CA had a climb out straight ahead before turning. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 22, 2017 at 1:00
  • $\begingroup$ @JScarry: Here's a (now-closed) partial example; the missed-approach procedure calls for a hard right turn immediately upon reaching the MAP (the IGS middle marker) to avoid flying into a mountain, but the non-missed approach also calls for a sharp turn there (for the same reason), hence why it's only a partial example. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 19, 2019 at 1:36
