Areeda
Pattern Altitude
After the excellent thread Ron started on the 1D2 VOR-A procedure turn altitudes, I decided to look at a lot of profile views. For those interested this meant fixing my database of NACO plates, it is on-line again at poa.areeda.com.
Here's a summary. I'm looking for more. I realize I could use more resolution in the images but they are readable as is. I did it as an html page to make it easier to edit than a post.
Most of them I understand, please don't make fun of my questions.
There are two examples KBIH VOR/GPS-A and KERY VOR/GPS RWY11 where an intersection is defined on a descent with no altitudes, turns or other discernible actions and no indication how to identify them with minimum equipment, at least by me. Are these there for situational awareness? If so what do they offer beyond DME distance.
On the KDLO VOR-RWY32 there is a non-precision descent angle of 2.94° to the VDP, does this a suggested, min or maximum angle?
