Narrative:

On final approach ILS 19 eglin AFB, we were forced to go missed approach by a rain squall at the end of runway 19. Halfway down this 12000 ft runway we broke out into clear VFR conditions. Tower asked us to contact departure. Upon contact with departure we requested a 180 degree turn back to a visual for runway 1. We were approved for a left 180 degree turn. During the turn, departure asked if we wanted runway 30. We answered yes and were told to expect vectors for ILS 30. We stated that we had the runway in clear sight and were hesitantly cleared for a visual 30. We landed without incident and contacted ground. He wanted to know our missed approach instructions, there had been none issued and we were unable to follow the published due to lack of TACAN equipment. In this situation, it would have been helpful to have had these instructions and for departure to have had a plan for us.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN LTT ACR CREW FLEW AN ILS APCH THAT HAD A TACAN MISSED APCH SEGMENT WITH NO TACAN EQUIP IN THE ACFT. THERE IS AN IDENTICAL APCH TO THE SAME RWY WITH A MISSED APCH BASED ON VOR EQUIP THAT HE SHOULD HAVE USED.

Narrative: ON FINAL APCH ILS 19 EGLIN AFB, WE WERE FORCED TO GO MISSED APCH BY A RAIN SQUALL AT THE END OF RWY 19. HALFWAY DOWN THIS 12000 FT RWY WE BROKE OUT INTO CLR VFR CONDITIONS. TWR ASKED US TO CONTACT DEP. UPON CONTACT WITH DEP WE REQUESTED A 180 DEG TURN BACK TO A VISUAL FOR RWY 1. WE WERE APPROVED FOR A L 180 DEG TURN. DURING THE TURN, DEP ASKED IF WE WANTED RWY 30. WE ANSWERED YES AND WERE TOLD TO EXPECT VECTORS FOR ILS 30. WE STATED THAT WE HAD THE RWY IN CLR SIGHT AND WERE HESITANTLY CLRED FOR A VISUAL 30. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND CONTACTED GND. HE WANTED TO KNOW OUR MISSED APCH INSTRUCTIONS, THERE HAD BEEN NONE ISSUED AND WE WERE UNABLE TO FOLLOW THE PUBLISHED DUE TO LACK OF TACAN EQUIP. IN THIS SITUATION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO HAVE HAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOR DEP TO HAVE HAD A PLAN FOR US.
