Approach

Hold over OS as assigned. Cleared, descend on the reversal to 2,000 ft, out over the water.
Established inbound 124°T — steady tone, on the beam — descend to MDA 300 ft at no more than 500 ft/min. Descend only while the tone holds: a broken tone means you are not established. Do not descend to look.
Hold MDA to the field. Station passage — the beacon goes silent overhead (cone of silence) — is the missed approach point.
Runway 12 in sight at station passage — land, field elevation 37 ft. Not in sight — go around.

MISSED APPROACH — STRAIGHT AHEAD TO 800', THEN LEFT 330°, CLIMB 3,000'
Return to OS, hold below the stack, await re-sequence.
Do not press on past the field: rising ground south-east.

Terrain surveyed 2026-07-24: highest ground 10,623 ft, 23 NM south-east. The beacon is on the field; the hold, the reversal and the missed all stay north-west, over the water.
