Narrative:
VOR a approach. Final approach course 80-110 degrees from runway heading. No WX reporting at airport. Nearest reporting airport (dan) 20 NM west of W-78 reporting 600 ft ceiling, 5 mi visibility. At MDA, in and out of bases. Saw airport approximately 1 NM from missed approach. Cautioned PF 'don't duck under.' PF attempted left traffic (runway 36), but overshot final. Went into left traffic for opposite direction runway 18. PF had descended below MDA during first attempt, failed to re-establish MDA during left traffic for runway 18. I advised PF of deviation from MDA. Executed missed approach.

Narrative: VOR A APCH. FINAL APCH COURSE 80-110 DEGS FROM RWY HEADING. NO WX RPTING AT ARPT. NEAREST RPTING ARPT (DAN) 20 NM W OF W-78 RPTING 600 FT CEILING, 5 MI VISIBILITY. AT MDA, IN AND OUT OF BASES. SAW ARPT APPROX 1 NM FROM MISSED APCH. CAUTIONED PF 'DON'T DUCK UNDER.' PF ATTEMPTED L TFC (RWY 36), BUT OVERSHOT FINAL. WENT INTO L TFC FOR OPPOSITE DIRECTION RWY 18. PF HAD DSNDED BELOW MDA DURING FIRST ATTEMPT, FAILED TO RE-ESTABLISH MDA DURING L TFC FOR RWY 18. I ADVISED PF OF DEV FROM MDA. EXECUTED MISSED APCH.
