Approach Notes

or course reversal is required - this usually depends on the direction of flight).

MAP

Missed Approach Point

MAHP Missed Approach Holding Point

ARC

A DME arc terminator. The preceding flight plan leg

 

is described as an arc to this waypoint. An ARC

 

waypoint may follow another ARC waypoint.

APPR

An intermediate approach waypoint. These are

 

sometimes used as step-down fixes or to define a

 

course to the next approach waypoint.

 

An Apollo GX TSO C129a approach will always

 

begin at an IAF. It will always contain at a minimum

 

an IAF, FAF, MAP, and MAHP sequence. The IAF

 

and FAF may be combined. Waypoints may be used

 

more than once; the same waypoint could be the IAF,

 

the MAP, and the MAHP; however, TSO C129a

 

non-precision approaches require that there always be

 

a distinct FAF to MAP leg. Intermediate waypoints,

 

of type APPR or ARC, may be anywhere in the

 

sequence except between the FAF and the MAP.

 

The following example uses the VOR DME RWY 12

 

GPS-overlay approach to Baker City Oregon.

 

The Apollo GX has a flight plan loaded from the

 

Salem, Oregon airport to the Deschutes VOR, DSD,

 

to the Baker City airport, BKE. An approach, the

 

VOR DME RWY 12 approach with the D272Y

 

(waypoint on the BKE VOR 272 radial at 25 nm.)

 

IAF is selected and loaded. When viewing the flight

 

plan legs, the following legs may be viewed.
