Default Help interpreting an approach chart (KCCR LDA Rwy 19R)


"Bee" wrote in message ...

JOANS is identified by the SGD 074 and the CCR 004. From there inbound
the course is prescribed by the locaizer.


Incorrect. JOANS is identified on this IAP in two ways; the SGD 074R and
the LOC, the LOC and CCR 8.1 DME. The CCR 004R is not depicted.



KANAN is the five letter identifier for the NDB, but you knew that.


Of course I did. Did you? You wrote, "...from COLLI it is NDB to KANAN."
So what's the length of that NDB to KANAN segment?



"No doubt there are serveral assition suitable non-radar routes
available?"

Oh really, where would we find those?


IFR enroute low altitude charts L-2 and L-3.



The IAP has to begin without radar at either REJOY or COLLI. Now, if you
mean something else is "suitable," as opposed to meeting the requirements
of FAA directives, including 7110.65R, then "suitable" would equal "roll
your own.


Incorrect. Without radar an appropriate nonradar route to an IAF must be
assigned. From the northeast, V6 to REJOY is the way to go. From the south
V6 to COLLI and then direct to KANAN is fine, but so is any other route to
KANAN from another navaid that remains within navaid altitude and distance
limitations. For example, traffic from the northwest could be assigned V108
to SGD and then direct to KANAN. The distance between SGD and KANAN is 18
miles, well within limits.

The limit on the LOM is 15 miles, so any airway fix within 15 miles of KANAN
can provide a usable route. At and below 12,000 MSL an L or H class VOR is
good for 40 miles and a T class VOR is good for 25 miles. So any direct
route to KANAN from an L or H class VOR within 55 miles of it is within
limits, and any direct route to KANAN from a T class VOR within 40 miles of
it is within limits, assuming there are no service limitations on the
affected radials. If you examine the charts and use a bit of imagination
you will no doubt find several additional suitable non-radar routes.
