What is the missed approach procedure for this airport?
I checked on google maps and it wouldn't be a problem. About 1km away, there's a recycling station and a cemetery with lots of room.
Don't
Pull the flight yoke back like you're trying to relocate it to the aft part of the cargo compartment and gun it. The air definitely looks cold and dense enough to do some impressive things with your aircraft, but I wonder what the elevation is.
Should be about sea level.
(The top of the cliff is, assuming Google maps is halfway accurate, about 600 meters)
Left! Immediately!
Not missed approach, but Wikipedia talks about an aircraft that had an engine explode on takeoff from here. The pilot decided that it would be better to fly to the next airport over rather than attempt to land here.
