TLDR: Can we depart an aircraft from an airport when a missed approach fix is 8 miles away from it.
Had a guy get dinged in the lab and we keep getting different answers for a solution.
In this scenario we have two Class E airports; Airport B is 16 miles southwest of Airport A.
Aircraft A is on an RNAV 22 approach to Airport A. Aircraft B departs Airport B Runway 09, but is given a 300 heading.
Aircraft A does a missed approach procedure which entails a turn at a fix 8 miles northeast of Airport B.
One controller says it's fine because the fix is 8 miles from the Airport B. One controller says its not because you have to protect 5 miles from each aircraft and there is no way to know far east Aircraft B will go before heading 300.
I think we don't depart the guy because we should protect 5 miles each aircraft. However still getting answers from different folks saying we can because the aircraft should start flying heading 300 right away, and not 3 miles to the northeast before turning, therefore not violating airspace.
Any answers are highly appreciated.
