I flew the San Jose (KSJC) ILS 30L approach on Sunday, and
noticed that there is no charted FAF, i.e. no Maltese Cross. I
use Jepp plates but I just looked at the NOS plate on the AOPA
site and it's the same. There's also no OM - although there is
an MM.

Seems strange - anyone have any idea why? I thought that all
approaches had to have an FAF?


The Maltese cross identifies the final approach fix only on non-precision
approaches. It's commonly seen on ILS approach plates because most of them
also have localizer minimums, but this one does not.
