BOI TRACON Controller reported lack of obstruction displayed on RADAR display and DVA procedure change resulted in an MVA violation and a CFTT event. Controller also stated to select correct map would take too much time and attention from monitoring that radar display.
Synopsis
BOI TRACON Controller reported lack of obstruction displayed on RADAR display and DVA procedure change resulted in an MVA violation and a CFTT event. Controller also stated to select correct map would take too much time and attention from monitoring that radar display.
Narrative
Aircraft X was on published missed approach climbing to 080. As the aircraft neared a 5000 MVA; I told them to leaving 5000; turn right heading 230." They neared the next MVA of 065. I observed them making the turn; and their blue dot of the fused radar beacon was on the line of the MVA. They completed their turn and second approach and landed safely.Recommendation:I was told that if I had tried to find the MAP that displayed an obstruction of 034; I could have instructed the aircraft to turn; upon immediate contact. Because the obstruction is not permanently displayed; I would have had to take the time; heads down searching out map list of at least 50 maps trying to find the right map. The lack of displaying a map of an obstruction well below the aircraft is the reason for a MVA event? Not allowing missed approach aircraft to use an established diverse vector area is by far the most ridiculous change the FAA has done in the last quarter of a century. The recommend I have to the entire FAA is to reinstate that we are allowed to use the established diverse vector areas for missed approach aircraft that area established in a climb. Locally I have already told the ATM (Air Traffic Management); I believe the obstructions should be on the main maps that are always displayed for this purpose."
