- Chapter 4: Approaches › Final Approach Segment
Final Approach Segment The final approach segment for an approach with vertical guidance or a precision approach begins where the glideslope/glidepath intercepts the minimum glideslope/ glidepath intercept altitude shown on the approach chart. If ATC authorizes a lower intercept altitude ... final approach segment begins upon glideslope/glidepath interception at that altitude. For a non-precision approach, the final approach segment begins either at a designated FAF, which is depicted as a cross on the profile view, or at the point where…

SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE.) INITIAL APPROACH SEGMENT- (See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE.) INITIAL APPROACH SEGMENT [ICAO]- That segment of an instrument approach procedure between the initial approach fix and the intermediate approach fix or, where applicable ... final approach fix or point. INLAND NAVIGATION FACILITY- A navigation aid on a North American Route at which the common route and/or the noncommon route begins or ends.

important that pilots understand these procedures and their use prior to attempting to fly instrument approaches. 7. TERPS criteria are provided for the following types of instrument approach procedures: (a) Precision Approach (PA). An instrument approach based on a navigation ... system that provides course and glidepath deviation information meeting the precision standards of ICAO Annex 10. For example, PAR, ILS, and GLS are precision approaches. (b) Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV). An instrument approach based on a navigation system that…

meet the precision approach standards of ICAO Annex 10, but provides course and glidepath deviation information. For example, Baro-VNAV, LDA with glidepath, LNAV/VNAV and LPV are APV approaches. Non-precision approach (NPA)—an instrument approach based on a navigation ... that provides course deviation information but no glidepath deviation information. For example, VOR, TACAN, LNAV, NDB, LOC, and ASR approaches are examples of NPA procedures. Missed Approach Segment The missed approach segment begins at the MAP and ends…
- Chapter 4: Approaches › GPS Stand-Alone/RNAV (GPS) Approach
Overlay of Nonprecision Approach The original GPS approach procedures provided authorization to fly non-precision approaches based on conventional, ground-based NAVAIDs. Many of these approaches have been converted to stand-alone approaches, and the few that remain are identified ... name of the procedure and “or GPS.” These GPS non-precision approaches are predicated upon the design criteria of the ground-based NAVAID used as the basis of the approach. As such, they do not adhere to the RNAV design…

Where no separation services are provided during the practice approach, no separation services will be provided during the missed approach. f. Except in an emergency, aircraft cleared to practice instrument approaches must not deviate from the approved procedure until cleared ... controller. g. At radar approach control locations when a full approach procedure (procedure turn, etc.,) cannot be approved, pilots should expect to be vectored to a final approach course for a practice instrument approach which is compatible with the general…
