Study Notes
Terminal Procedure Publications (TPPs)
- TPPs include Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs), Departure Procedures (DPs), Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) charts, Charted Visual Flight Procedures (CVFP), and Airport Diagrams.
- Additional elements: Takeoff Minimums, Obstacle Departure Procedures, Diverse Vector Area, RADAR procedures, and Alternate Minimums.
Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Chart Structure
- Review IAP charts by top-to-bottom, left-to-right approach for clarity and comprehensive understanding.
- Margin Identification Information consists of top, bottom, and side margins which hold essential chart data.
Top Margin Information in IAP Charts
- Displays city and state; FAA numbering system (e.g., AL-5326); revision Julian date; procedure title; and airport name beneath the procedure title.
Side Margin Information in IAP Charts
- Contains volume identification (e.g., SW-3), current issue date, and next issue date indicating the TPP’s publication cycle.
Bottom Margin Information in IAP Charts
- Includes city and state, FAA Procedure Amendment Number, coordinates for airport reference point, along with airport name and procedure title.
Briefing Strip Sections in IAP Charts
- The Briefing Strip incorporates three stacks of information: Top Briefing Strip, Middle Briefing Strip, and Communications Briefing Strip, varying by procedure type.
Top Briefing Strip Details
- Left box: Primary Procedure Navigation details including type (VOR, LOC, etc.), identifiers, frequencies, and applicable WAAS information.
- Middle box: Inbound Approach Course (APP CRS) information helps align the approach correctly with respect to the runway.
- Right box: Runway landing metrics including Landing Distance, Touchdown Zone Elevation (TDZE), and Airport Elevation, accounting for thresholds and declared distances.
Notable Symbols in the Notes Box
- Negative "W" in a box signifies possible daily WAAS vertical guidance outages and recommends using LNAV minima for flight planning.
- Snowflake symbol indicates the need for a cold temperature altitude correction at or below specified temperatures and must be reported to ATC in certain approach segments.
Approach Lighting System Box Information
- Displays the name and icon of the approach lighting system, critical for identifying visual aids during approach, especially for parallel runways with multiple lighting systems.
