Narrative:
Aircraft X was inbound to mkk on a VOR a approach. I terminated radar and switched him to mkk tower frequency. A few minutes later; mkk called and said aircraft X was on a missed approach. Aircraft X called and told me he was in a climbing right turn on the missed approach. The missed approach for the VOR a approach is a climbing left turn. The right turn took the aircraft into a 7;000 ft MVA. The pilot was requesting vectors for a visual approach to runway 5. I had him identify to get radar identification. The pilot reported the field in sight. I cleared him for a visual when he was at 2;800 ft MSL. At the same time; there was an air carrier Y flight overflying mkk; going to jhm at 7;000 ft. I had handed off air carrier Y to sector 4 and given them control once air carrier Y was south and east of mkk airport. This was because I was protecting for a missed approach to the northwest. My d-side pointed out aircraft X to sector 4. There was no loss of separation. The pilot should be following the missed approach procedure.

Title: HCF Controller described a below MVA event when traffic issued a VOR A approach into MKK executed an incorrect turn on a Missed Approach Procedure.
Narrative: Aircraft X was inbound to MKK on a VOR A approach. I terminated RADAR and switched him to MKK Tower frequency. A few minutes later; MKK called and said aircraft X was on a missed approach. Aircraft X called and told me he was in a climbing right turn on the missed approach. The missed approach for the VOR A approach is a climbing left turn. The right turn took the aircraft into a 7;000 FT MVA. The pilot was requesting vectors for a Visual Approach to Runway 5. I had him IDENT to get RADAR identification. The pilot reported the field in sight. I cleared him for a visual when he was at 2;800 FT MSL. At the same time; there was an ACR Y flight overflying MKK; going to JHM at 7;000 FT. I had handed off ACR Y to Sector 4 and given them control once ACR Y was south and east of MKK airport. This was because I was protecting for a missed approach to the Northwest. My D-Side pointed out aircraft X to Sector 4. There was no loss of separation. The pilot should be following the missed approach procedure.
