Narrative:

Making a visibility approach to runway 19R, (following the ILS localizer and G/south), a small small aircraft Y was making a visibility approach to runway 19L. Small aircraft Y overshot the runway and was about halfway between the runways still angling toward our runway, when we initiated our missed approach. The VFR pattern at airports with closely spaced runways should be altered to allow a 45 degree maximum intercept to final.

Narrative: MAKING A VIS APCH TO RWY 19R, (FOLLOWING THE ILS LOC AND G/S), A SMALL SMA Y WAS MAKING A VIS APCH TO RWY 19L. SMA Y OVERSHOT THE RWY AND WAS ABOUT HALFWAY BTWN THE RWYS STILL ANGLING TOWARD OUR RWY, WHEN WE INITIATED OUR MISSED APCH. THE VFR PATTERN AT ARPTS WITH CLOSELY SPACED RWYS SHOULD BE ALTERED TO ALLOW A 45 DEG MAX INTERCEPT TO FINAL.
