WX CONCERNS LED TO FLC'S DEV FROM PUBLISHED MISSED APCH PROC.

Narrative

AFTER HOLDING AT VOUCH INTXN; 20 MI E OF LYH; FOR 2 HRS WAITING FOR A TSTM TO MOVE PAST THE ARPT; WE DECIDED TO EXECUTE THE VOR DME APCH TO RWY 21 BECAUSE THE STORM APPEARED TO HAVE MOVED SW OF THE VOR; BLOCKING THE FINAL APCH COURSE FOR THE ILS TO RWY 3. THE RPTED WX WAS ABOVE STRAIGHT-IN AND CIRCLING MINIMUMS FOR THE VOR APCH AND THE WIND WAS OUT OF THE NW AT 10 KTS GUSTING TO 18 KTS. PRIOR TO REACHING THE FINAL APCH FIX; ZDC TERMINATED OUR RADAR SVC AND TOLD US TO SWITCH TO THE CTAF. UPON REACHING MDA; WE WERE STILL IN THE CLOUDS. THE MISSED APCH PROC CALLS FOR A STRAIGHT AHEAD CLB TO THE VOR; WHICH IS 5 MI SW OF THE ARPT. UPON REACHING THE MISSED APCH; STILL IN IMC CONDITIONS; WE FOUND THAT THE MISSED APCH COURSE WAS BLOCKED BY THE TSTM. WE WERE ALSO PAINTING AT LEAST LEVEL 3 PRECIPITATION TO OUR L AND R. WE QUICKLY DECIDED THAT THE ONLY SAFE THING TO DO WAS TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE HARD; R CLBING TURN BACK TO THE FINAL APCH COURSE. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT ZDC AS SOON AS PRACTICAL; BUT HE WAS VERY BUSY VECTORING OTHER FLTS AROUND THE WX AND ONTO THE FINAL APCH COURSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. AFTER FINALLY ESTABLISHING CONTACT WITH THE CTLR AND ADVISING HIM OF WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WHY; HE STARTED YELLING AT US TO TURN AROUND AND FLY THE PUBLISHED MISSED APCH PROC BECAUSE HE WAS VECTORING OTHER PLANES ONTO THE APCH. AFTER ADVISING HIM THAT DUE TO WX THE ONLY HDG THAT WE COULD FLY WAS OUR PRESENT ONE; HE VECTORED THE OTHER TFC AWAY FROM THE FINAL APCH COURSE. AFTER BEING CLRED TO OUR ALTERNATE; WE DECLARED A MINIMUM FUEL SIT. THIS SAME CTLR THEN TOLD US TO REDUCE OUR SPD AS MUCH AS PRACTICAL AND PROCEEDED TO VECTOR US BEHIND A SLOWER ACFT GOING INTO THE SAME ARPT. THIS ACTION WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR; EVEN IF HE WAS AGITATED AT US. I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THIS SIT. WE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR US IN THAT THE RPTED WX WAS ABOVE CIRCLING MINIMUMS; AND THE MISSED APCH COURSE APPEARED TO BE CLR UNTIL WE ARRIVED AT THE MISSED APCH POINT. I THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR SIT IS EXTREMELY RARE AND I ALSO THINK THAT WE TOOK THE SAFEST COURSE OF ACTION; GIVEN THE CONDITIONS; EVEN IF IT WAS ILLEGAL AND INCONVENIENT FOR THE CTLR. I HONESTLY THINK THAT IF WE HAD DONE AS THE CTLR REQUESTED; I MAY NOT HAVE SURVIVED TO WRITE THIS RPT.
