Issues an IFR approach clearance only after the aircraft is established ... segment of published route or IAP, or assigns an appropriate altitude for the aircraft to maintain until so established. 5-5-5.

    feet obstacle clearance is also incorporated into the final approach segment for straight-in approaches, and a maximum 400-ft/NM descent gradient is permitted. The approach design criteria are different for approaches that use vertical guidance provided ... approaches are not authorized in areas of hazardous terrain, nor are they authorized when a remote altimeter setting is required. Due to the inherent problems associated with barometric readings and cold temperatures, these procedures are also temperature limited. Additional approach…

    actual minimums that can be used for a specific approach. All of them must be considered by pilots during the preflight and approach planning phases, discussed, and briefed appropriately. Pilots are cautioned to fully understand and abide by the guidelines ... electing to continue any approach beyond the published DA/DH or MDA. It is imperative to recognize that any delay in making a decision to execute the Missed Approach Procedure at the DA/DH or MDA/Missed Approach Point will put the aircrew…

    either approach due to the differences in the final approach required obstacle clearance (ROC) evaluation. This convention also eliminates any confusion with approach procedures labeled A and B, where only circling minimums are published.

  • Chapter 4: Approaches › Benefits Of WAAS In The Airport Environment

    technology supports vertically-guided instrument approaches to all qualifying runways in the United States. Vertically-guided approaches reduce pilot workload and provide safety benefits compared to non-precision approaches. The WAAS enabled vertically guided approach procedures are called LPV, which ... with vertical guidance,”and provide ILS equivalent approach minimums as low as 200 feet at qualifying airports. Actual minimums are based on an airport’s current infrastructure, as well as an evaluation of any existing obstructions. The FAA plans…
