Re: It was *supposed* to turn the aeroplane
More worryingly it goes left instead of right when left is the quicker way of getting to the desired heading. The only reason I can think of for the procedure being designed to go the long way to a desired heading would be to avoid something you'd hit going the other way*.
Although the missed approach plate used to illustrate the article seems to happily take the aircraft over higher ground than the alternative so $deity knows what's happening there.
*And by hit I imagine it'd actually be a case of miss by less than the minimum separation allowed.
