Narrative:

While briefing approach for ILS runway 36L, noticed that missed approach requires you to fly localizer back up to an intersection with a radial from another NAVAID. Due to sensitivity, distortion by other aircraft, and potential sensing problems, this procedure should be changed to say intercept a radial of pie to radial DME.

Title: MD88 CAPT COMPLAINS OF THE USE OF LOW FREQ NAVAID FOR IDENTING INTXN KEYNO, ON MISSED APCH PROC FOR RWY 36L.

Narrative: WHILE BRIEFING APCH FOR ILS RWY 36L, NOTICED THAT MISSED APCH REQUIRES YOU TO FLY LOC BACK UP TO AN INTXN WITH A RADIAL FROM ANOTHER NAVAID. DUE TO SENSITIVITY, DISTORTION BY OTHER ACFT, AND POTENTIAL SENSING PROBS, THIS PROC SHOULD BE CHANGED TO SAY INTERCEPT A RADIAL OF PIE TO RADIAL DME.
