  • Chapter 10: IFR Flight › Approaches › Compliance With Published Standard Instrument Approach Procedures

    controller, and the end of this leg is determined by the DME readout. Approaches Compliance With Published Standard Instrument Approach Procedures Compliance with the approach procedures shown on the approach charts provides necessary navigation guidance information for alignment with ... final approach course. 3. A holding pattern is published in lieu of a procedure turn. 4. Executing a timed approach from a holding fix. 5. Otherwise directed by ATC…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-1. Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) Procedures

    STAR is an ATC coded IFR arrival route established for application to arriving IFR aircraft destined for certain airports. STARs simplify clearance delivery procedures, and also facilitate transition between en route and instrument approach procedures. 1. STAR procedures may have ... mandatory speeds and/or crossing altitudes published. Other STARs may have planning information depicted to inform pilots what clearances or restrictions to “expect.” “Expect” altitudes/speeds are not considered STAR procedures crossing restrictions unless verbally issued by ATC. Published speed restrictions…

    clearance for a SID which does not contain published crossing restrictions, and/or is a SID with a Radar Vector segment or a Radar Vector SID, will be issued using the phraseology “Maintain (altitude).” 6. A clearance for a SID which ... contains published altitude restrictions may be issued using the phraseology “climb via.” Climb via is an abbreviated clearance that requires compliance with the procedure lateral path, associated speed and altitude restrictions along the cleared route or procedure. Clearance to “climb…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-6. Approach Clearance

    arrival hold is depicted using a “thin line” since it is not always a mandatory part of the instrument procedure. (a) Arrival holding is charted where holding is frequently required prior to starting the approach procedure so that detailed holding ... instructions are not required. The arrival holding pattern is not authorized unless assigned by ATC. Holding at the same fix may also be depicted on the en route chart. (b) Arrival holding is also charted where it is necessary…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-9. Procedure Turn and Hold-in-lieu of Procedure Turn

    circuits to lose excessive altitude or to become better established on course, it is their responsibility to so advise ATC upon receipt of their approach clearance. 6. A procedure turn is not required when an approach can be made directly ... such cases, the term “NoPT” is used with the appropriate course and altitude to denote that the procedure turn is not required. If a procedure turn is desired, and when cleared to do so by ATC, descent below the procedure…
