Missed approach aircraft at KGWO will hold where and must be given a point out to which sector?

• A. SQS256R; sector 67.
• B. SQS180R; sector 66.
• C. SQS256R; sector 65.
• D. SQS180R; sector 67.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how missed-approach coordination works: you must follow the published hold at a specific fix and ensure the next controller takes over the aircraft with a point-out when it enters that hold. For KGWO, the published missed-approach procedure requires holding at the fix SQS256R in a right-hand pattern. Because that fix lies in the airspace managed by sector 67, the controller must issue a point-out to sector 67 so they can assume responsibility for the aircraft as it enters the hold and for subsequent sequencing and separation. Choosing a different hold fix or directing the point-out to a different sector would not align with the published procedure and could disrupt coordination.
