Story 22
Prior to initiating the first ILS approach to runway 10R, the pilot of Japan air 223 was advised by the tower controller that the runway visual range (RVR) was 600 feet, followed by being given a landing clearance. The pilot declared a missed approach two minutes later and was given radar vectors for a second ILS approach. After turning inbound on the localizer, the pilot was advised the runway visual range and then cleared to land. When the tower controller observed the airplane turning to the south of the runway on her radar display, she issued missed approach instructions. There was no further reply from the pilot. The airplane impacted the top of an 85-foot tall tree, and then continued to collide on the ground. The published missed approach procedure instructed the pilot to climb to 900 feet, then right turn to intercept the 160 degree radial of the VORTAC. It appears the pilot likely misinterpreted the missed approach instructions by making the right hand turn prior to initiating a climb to 900 feet, which resulted in the subsequent impact with the tree.
