Narrative:

While briefing the instrument approach to la romana, dominican republic, the approach plate was seen to have a misleading missed approach depiction on its planview (mdlr NDB). The instructions are to turn to a 240 degree heading, but the planview depicts interception of the 240 degree bearing outbound.
