Attached are two recently revised (Aug 18 cycle) approach procedures for Las Cruces, New Mexico: the RNAV Rwy 30 and the ILS or LOC Rwy 30. Also attached for reference is the low-altitude airway structure in the Las Cruces area. Note that both IAPs have a holding pattern at MOLLY...

Following is a proposed ILS approach for KTVR Runway 36. Note that the terminal route from BARNE intersection to the TKH NDB is not annotated “NoPT” even though its alignment and altitude easily meets NoPT criteria. As you near BARNE on the airway to the south, Memphis Center say, “Piper 1234C...

An associate pointed out to me that the instrument rating PTS for circle to land has failed to address the new, larger circle to land areas (the "C" icon). He is correct. The PTS states the pilot being tested must remain within the distance dictated by the applicable visibility minimum...

The IAF/IF has been incorrectly labeled only IF for a long time. Finally, some sharp Boston Center controller brought it to Aero Nav: FDC 5/0975 - IAP GREENVILLE MUNI, GREENVILLE, ME. RNAV (GPS) RWY 14, ORIG... CHANGE TERMINAL ROUTE WELUG (IF) TO WELUG (IF/IAF). THIS IS RNAV (GPS) RWY 14...

http://garmin.blogs.com/aviationalerts/2013/11/service-advisory-0825-rev-a-lpv-and-lnavvnav-approaches-with-three-character-airport-identifiers-.html Does anyone know whether Garmin has made a firmware update to resolve this issue? An airport I have been involved with, F70, had its LNAV only...

3TE is a light airplane airport near Detroit, MI. The airport will likely never have an RNAV approach because of runway and survey limitations. But, it does have a VOR-A or GPS approach. The VOR approach is lousy because of the distance from the VOR to the airport. But, the GPS overlay is, of...

For years we had TAA IAPs with “T” corner posts. Under 8260.58 TF-to-TF turn angle limitations vs. distance that design went out the window. So the last couple of years we have had new TAA IAPs with no corner posts. Now, the corner posts have returned, but with a 60 degree intercept angle vs. 90...

Note that both terminal routes converge at the course reversal IF/IAF. One has NoPT and one does not. Note also that each line on this forum is issued under FAR 97.

The attached approach should not appear in the July 26 nav database because it has an RF leg (permitted by current FAAO 8260.54A criteria) but RF legs are not authorized (yet) by the FAA except for RNP AR approved operators. If anyone has this procedure in their RNAV IFR database effective...

The FAA has completely revamped its instrument procedures website. Although some minor kinks exist it generally works quite well. If you sign up as a registered user (optional) you can elect to be kept updated by email for airports of interest to you. Attached is a very brief tutorial in PDF...

Attached is a JPEG of two TAA RNAV IAPs. The first one is the way it has been done since the inception of TAAs. The second one is a new concept, which appears to strain the requirements of the TAA order. I would like to hear views from everyone about the new design concept vs. the...

Someone asked a long time ago why this airport didn't hav an IAP. It is now proposed. You can evaluate and comment at the folloing link: http://aeronav.faa.gov/acifp.asp?search=38s&stateSearch=&select=&submit1=Search

Attached are the existing and proposed replacement for the KCRQ RNAV Runway 24 IAP. The RNAV criteria has changed considerably since the present IAP was designed. Under the newer, existing criteria, the course changes to the KANEC IF on the OCN terminal route are "too tight" for today's...

I posted this in "This Week's Approach" but the thread is old so perhaps no one looked: 6B6 VOR/DME final approach segment near, and at the approach end of Rwy 21. The centerline to edge width of the primary area (out to the yellow tinted area, which is the secondary area) is 2.25 nautical...
