Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Part 97, Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures. The procedures, including notes, are
promulgated in the National Flight Data Digest to complete the
requirements of Part 97.
Please cite the regulation that makes notes on an approach chart regulatory.
Equipment requirement notes are addressed in FAAO 8260.19 para 855 h,
"Equipment requirement notes". Although the need for specific
equipment to fly the final approach will be identified in the procedure
title
(VOR/DME, etc), the requirement for additional equipment in other
segments such as feeders or missed approach will be listed in the notes
section.
I'm using the online version of FAAO 8260.19C, I don't know if it's the
latest. It has no paragraph 855, notes are covered in paragraph 814.
FAA Order 8260.19C
CHAPTER 8. INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURES DATA TRANSMITTAL SYSTEM
SECTION 3. COMPLETION OF FAA FORMS 8260-3/5
814. NOTES.
h. Equipment Requirement Notes. Determine the need for equipment notes
after evaluating all SIAP segments, including missed approach. To avoid
proliferation of equipment requirement notes, all IFR aircraft are assumed
to have at least one VOR receiver. Therefore, the note "VOR required" is not
appropriate. VOR, ILS, or other non-ADF approaches may require ADF for
procedure entry or missed approach. Use standard Note: "ADF required." If
radar vectoring is available, use standard Note: "ADF or radar required."
Regardless which is more recent, the paragraph you quoted does not disagree
with the material I provided. In each case the notes are clearly derived
from the need for the specified equipment, the notes do not create the need
for the equipment. When properly placed, the notes are not an issue, they
simply state a fact. The problem arises when the notes appear on a chart
where the specified equipment is not needed at all, that is, when they
appear in error.
