MarginaliaMarginalia

› Information including:– Procedure Identification– Aerodrome Name– Community Served– Variation– Effective Date – Etc.

Chart Numbering ProtocolsChart Numbering Protocols

› Five levels– Level 1 – Geographical location– Level 2 – Multiple airports in same location– Level 3 – Each procedure will be listed in sequence for each level 2– Level 4 – When a level 3 procedure has multiple sub levels– Level 5 – Runway numbers starting with the lowest

Comm BoxComm Box

› Shows communication listed left to right / top to bottom based on priority and sequence– Automated Weather

Approach SummaryApproach Summary

› Allows the pilot to quickly review the IAP– Safe Altitude– Navigation Type Final– Approach Course Final– Approach Fix Altitude– Landing Distance Available– Lighting

If a given approach procedure does not

have a specific attribute pertaining to one of the six approach summary

blocks, that block shall remain blank.

Plan ViewPlan View

› Plan view is done to scale› May have operational

notes if needed

Minimum AltitudesMinimum Altitudes

› Altitudes in the plan view will either be a – minimum safe altitude or– An operational altitude

CDFA TableCDFA Table

› Distance and altitude can be used to determine recommended vertical path

CDFA TableCDFA Table

› Will not be depicted if:– Descent angle greater than

3.5 degrees– Procedure is a precision

approach– A fix crossing altitude is

above the glide path or CDFA angle.

Profile ViewProfile View

Minima BoxMinima Box

› Asterisk denotes circling restriction and to refer to the plan view for more info.

› If procedure not authorized the procedure will not be listed

Rate of Descent and Timing

Rate of Descent and Timing

› Provides information of how long from the FAF to the MAP based on G/S.

› If CDFA depicted, it will also provide the rate of descent that corresponds to the charted descent angle
