Final Approach
GPS Approach question
Good day fellow POA'ers. While looking at this approach http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0712/05278R4.PDF a question came to mind that I'd like clarification on.
Let's assume you're on final in the soup and lose the GPS signal. The missed approach procedure directs you to hold at COYAP, which is a GPS way point. However, without GPS, you are unable to locate COYAP.
My initial thought is to fly above the MSA and contact the controlling agency for assistance with a different hold until another applicable IAP is determined. Of course, one can always return to another airport in VMC providing fuel and wx coverage are not an issue but that is not the case as the entire area is IMC.
