I'm making my way through the seemingly quirky checkrides in this game and the instrument one has me stumped. I'm told to go around airport KSEA following the VOR chart for runway 16R, and proceed with a missed approach. I'm coming from the south, and when I'm over the VOR, I drop to 3000'. I proceed until I'm about 7nm north of the VOR, and turn around. I follow the chart's landing diagram, going down to 2000', then 900' when the time is right. I follow the missed approach procedure by flying over the airport and pulling back up to 3000' at a heading of 158'. Then suddenly it kicks me out telling me I screwed up. Anyone know What I'm doing wrong? Maybe give me a small walkthrough of the procedure? Thx in advance.

From the original FS2002 tips site:

Do not go below any of the published altitudes for the approach or you will fail. At some point, your examiner will tell you to "go around". Perform the published missed approach. ie: climb to 2100ft and fly to PARKK.

At PARKK the examiner will tell you to climb and maintain 3000, turn left HDG 160 direct to the SEA VOR to hold on the 140 radial. Or something to that effect.

Here's the key....

Use a parallel entry to enter the hold. Check out figure 18-3 on page 178 of Rod Machado's Ground School Book. You are in position 'A' coming from PARKK toward SEA. Cross the VOR and turn left HDG 140. Fly HDG 140 for one minute then turn left and come all the way around to intercept the 140 radial on HDG 320. Again... refer to the parallel entry diagram (figure 18-3). This will help you "see" what you need to do. To complete the hold you would make a standard rate right turn to HDG 140 and fly for one minute, make a standard rate right turn, intercept the radial again on HDG 320 and keep this up till you are given another clearance. However, in the checkride, you will not be required to do even one "lap" of the holding pattern. Once you successfully perform the parallel entry, you will be given your clearance for the ILS 13R approach at BFI.

Now you need KBFI-ILS.gif from your charts/lessons folder. Continuing from the hold, you would cross the VOR on HDG 320, then turn right to 323 and track that radial to NOLLA and continue with the published ILS 13R approach to BFI including the procedure turn at NOLLA. Land without busting minimums and you'll get your IFR ticket!

lol so am I right in assuming that means I don't even literally need to go down and make the 'missed approach', by dropping to 900' as if i would land, I just need to head to the second airport and pull off an ILS landing? That's awesome. If that's correct I've got this one easy
