guidance (APV) are non-precision approaches because they do not meet the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 10 standards for a precision approach. (See Final Approach Segment section later in this chapter for more information regarding APV approaches.) Exceptions ... minimums are listed in the front of the Aeronautical Information Services in the Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP) and are indicated by a symbol A on the approach charts for the airport.
