Approach Chart - Profile View

The top of the profile view on certain non-precision approaches contains a table of recommended
altitudes/heights at various DME fixes to allow a constant rate of descent. The altitudes/heights are
recommended only; minimum altitudes in the profile view apply. The table is sequenced in the same
direction as the profile is portrayed.

Notes pertaining to conditional use of the procedure are shown at the top of the profile. The note
"Pilot controlled lighting" indicates that pilot activation is required as specified on the airport chart
under

Additional Runway Information.

The profile view schematically (not to scale) portrays the approach procedure flight track
as a vertical cross section of the plan view.

NON-PRECISION APPROACH PROFILE (LOC, VOR, VORTAC, NDB, etc.)

- Symbol representing the non-precision missed approach point (MAP), as shown below, is used

on charts dated on or after 5 FEB 93. This symbol is omitted when more than one non-precision
approach track is depicted.

NON-PRECISION APPROACH PROFILE (LOC, VOR, VORTAC, NDB, etc.) with constant rate of
descent:

NON-PRECISION APPROACH PROFILE (VISUAL APPROACH)

PRECISION APPROACH PROFILE [ILS with LOC (GS out), or with NDB Approach]

- Symbol representing the non-precision missed approach point (MAP), as shown below, is used

on charts dated on or after 5 FEB 93. This symbol is omitted when more than one non-precision
approach track is depicted.

PRECISION APPROACH PROFILE (ILS CAT II and CAT III combined)

MISSED APPROACH
The Missed Approach text is located immediately below the profile diagram. It may be supplemented
by a State specified acceleration altitude/height on charts labeled PANS OPS / PANS OPS 3. (Refer
to Air Traffic Control series "200").

MISSED APPROACH POINT (MAP)
Precision approaches: Immediately upon reaching the Decision Altitude (Height) DA(H) while

descending on the glide slope and continued descent cannot be controlled by visual reference.

Non-precision approaches: Upon reaching the Missed Approach Point (MAP). A table at the lower
left corner of the chart will specify the MAP and, if applicable, a time at various speeds from fix to
MAP. When times are not shown, a timed approach is Not Authorized. Where a DME Fix is
portrayed in addition to a distance, the DME Fix may be used for determining the MAP for DME
equipped aircraft. The runway threshold and MAP often coincide.

SYMBOLS

Threshold Crossing Height

Fan marker with name or ILS marker with marker code and, when appropriate, glide slope crossing
altitude above mean sea level and above TDZE, runway end or airport elevation.

VOR, DF, NDB, or Waypoint labeled only as to facility depicted. "Z" indicates
VHF location markers.

Marker and NDB co-located (LOM, LMM)

VOR not used for course guidance, by-passed during VOR final approach, and used solely to
provide DME fixes both before and after its passage.

-or-

Facility used solely for start of outbound procedure track, with procedure turn or course reversal and
final approach inbound to another facility.

Named fix formed by VOR radial or NDB bearing, or DME, or radar. All allowable substitutions for identifying a fix
are noted in the planview. Only DME values will be displayed in the profile.
Note: ILS DME should not be used to determine position over middle marker, runway threshold or runway
touchdown point unless specified on the approach chart.

Non-precision Final Approach Fix (FAF) (If specified by State source)

Visual Descent Point (VDP) (if specified by State source)

Begin missed approach procedure.

- Symbol represents the nonprecision missed approach point (MAP), on charts dated on and after 5 FEB 93.

Approach procedure flight track

Approach procedure flight track of non-precision approach [LOC (GS out), NDB or VOR] when charted in same
profile with precision approach.

High level approach track

Visual flight track
(One or more arrows)

All altitudes in the profile view are "MINIMUM" altitudes unless specifically labeled otherwise.
Altitudes are above mean sea level in feet. May be abbreviated "MIM".

Mandatory altitudes are labeled "MANDATORY" and mean at the fix or glide slope intercept.

Maximum altitudes are labeled "MAXIMUM". May be abbreviated "MAX".

Obstruction Clearance Limit

Obstruction Clearance Altitude (Height)

Recommend altitudes are labeled"RECOMMENDED"-

Height in feet above airport, runway end, or TDZ elevation. Height is measured from airport
elevation unless TDZE or runway end elevation is noted at the airport symbol.

Racetrack used in lieu of procedure turn with holding limit, outbound and inbound bearings, and
minimum altitude.

For a racetrack and holding in lieu of procedure turn, the outbound track corresponds to the plan
view depiction beginning at a point abeam the facility/fix.

When airspeeds are indicated in profile note, higher airspeeds require shortened times to assure
remaining in the protected area.

Radar vectoring is required when it is the only approved method for providing a procedure entry

and/or for identifying a terminal fix.
