One way you can see procedure names in a list is by doing a Volume
search at the following website;

http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/d_tpp

Click on that link, and it will take you to a page with 2 options,
usually the current FLIPS or the next cycle's FLIPS.
Click on the pub cycle you want, and that takes you to a page with 4
search options (Airport ID, State, Airport Name, or Volume). Click on
the drop down Volume tab and select whichever part of the country you're
searching. (NE has 4 volumes).
When you click on the volume, a list of procedure will show up in
alphabetical order in that volume. Just look at the procedure name in
the right column until you find the type procedure you want. (Example,
there are 19 pages of procedures that you can skim through in NE-2)
The important thing is to search by "volume", and not by airport ID,
airport name or state.
(Note: There are 2 VOR/DME RNAV procedures listed just on the 1st page
of Volume NE-3, at Ronald Reagan Washington National)

Hello all... I was looking through the online instrument procedures, trying to
find a VOR/DME RNAV approach to do the flight test portion of my KNS-80 IFR
certification. They aren't that prevalent, and I'm in Virginia, but basically equally
close to WV, KY, TN, and NC, which spans a number of sets of plates. I figured online
would be a good way to find one that's close, but none of the sites I've found (AOPA,
NACO.faa.gov, flyguides.com, etc) sort by anything other than identifier. Anyone know
of a place to sort this database by type? Buying a slew of paper plates just to
manually thumb through them and find RNAV approaches seems a bit silly. It seems like
sorting by approach time would be a good idea for a number of these online search
engines... so you can ignore any NDB, GPS, or DME approach if not so equipped.

Thoughts? (besides "why bother with the KNS-80"... I like it, get over it...
