If an approach has the letter "A" attached as a suffix (VOR DME A) what does this indicate?
The approach does not meet straight in criteria and circling minimums apply.
Do all approaches have final approach fixes?
No, some nonprecision approaches may not have a FAF. These will usually have a NAVAID located on the airport.
With no FAF when would final descent to MDA be started?
Upon completion of the PT and established on final. When being vectored within specified distance from the NAVAID.
What does a black triangle with a white "A" appearing in the notes section mean?
Alternate minimums…the info is found in the TPP (Terminal Procedures Publication http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg3/cg3pcx/missions/auxair/iap_intro.pdf). If NA alternate minimums are not authorized.
What is the significance of the term "radar required".
Alert pilot to absence of a NAVAID and expect radar guidance while transiting segments labeled with this term.
Where is the MSA centered, and what does it provide? FTW
Mufin LOM, 1000' clearance above the highest obstacle up to 25nm.
What is the IAF for this procedure? FTW
The IAF is MUFIN LOM
What is the bold arrow from Bowie VOR? FTW
Feeder route…transition from enroute structure to the IAF.
What is the 10nm ring? FTW
10 nm radius is the boundary to scale the procedure is charted.
Within what distance must the procedure turn be executed at FTW?
10 NM
If a PT is required what is the MSA? FTW
2300 msl
What altitude can you descend after the PT? FTW
When established inbound 2000' msl
What is "1992" at the outer marker? FTW
altitude of the glide slope at the outer marker
What is the angle of the glide slope? FTW
3 degrees
What is the altitude the electronic glide slope crosses the threshold of 16L? FTW
Threshold crossing height TCH is 57'
If the glide slope became inoperative could you continue the approach if established? FTW
Yes, providing you notify ATC and they approve a localizer approach.
If you lose your marker beacon receiver what are the substitutes? FTW
Compass locator, 5.3 DME, Maverick VOR R-269
Where is the missed approach point for precision and non precision? FTW
Precision is DH 910 msl. Non precision is 1.5 DME from I-FTW or time from MUFIN.
What is the minimum visibility for a CAT A (0-90kts) 16L @ FTW?
1/2 sm or 2400 RVR feet.
If the light system became inop, how would you determine min visibility for CAT A? FTW
Go to the front of the approach chart book.
Are takeoff minimums standard at FTW?
nonstandard, terminal departure procedures should be consulted.
What are the circling minimums for 16L FTW
circling MDA is 1260
What is (200-1/2) ? FTW
Minimums for military aircraft.
What do the terms LNAV and VNAV mean in the minimums section?
LNAV is lateral guidance and minimum is MDA and LNAV/VNAV have both lateral and vertical guidance WAAS and minimum is DA
If the weather reports ceilings 100 and visibility 1/2 sm can you make an approach to ILS 16L FTW?
The approach may be attempted regardless of ceiling and visiblilty, but at DH the runway must be in sight to land.
