The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
Bob,
I was asked this question, If an approach plate has no FAF cross, where does the final approach segment begin? I can't find a reference for it any where. :blink:
Cheers 😉
Approaches such as DME or GPS arrivals, DME Arcs and LOC need a symbol to indicate where the Initial and Final approach segment commences. However in reversal procedures there is no need for a final approach fix since it is obvious where the final approach begins. In these approaches, the final approach commences when the aircraft is established on the final approach track. + or - 5°.
B) Thanks Bob!! 🙂
