Default GPS approach step-down fixes

Did you mean strictly "distance to the threshold"?
Where the Missed Approach Point is short of the threshold,
stepdown fixes are likely to be defined by distance to the MAP.


You're right, I meant distance to MAP, not distance to threshold. So
perhaps that changes the question into whether there are waypoints on the
approach between the FAF and the MAP.

KHDN (Hayden) RNAV (GPS) Y Rwy 10


but at least in the case of Hayden, ZULON is a named stepdown fix,
at 1.9 nm to RAPVE, which is the MAP located 1 nm from the runway.


OK, good example. So when I pass INEDE (the FAF) inbound on that approach,
what does my distance-to-waypoint read? 3.5, counting down to ZULON, or 5.4
counting down to RAPVE?
