And probably is where the problem of confusion ON ME. *Since I am based at an uncontrolled airport KMBO, Every practice approach was done with missed so it was ingrained never go below MDA until the MAP. On my checkride, with the equipment I had at the time, I was only good for ILS, LOC and DME type approaches (I didn't have ADF or GPS) When I was taught LOC approaches at KHKS, I was told to go to MDA and drive it in at 760 until I saw the airport which he had me pop the hood at the MAP which happens to be at the middle marker. Either you or your instructor have (had) a serious teaching or understanding problem. Not knowing either of you, I can't really say where the problem is, but the two of you really need to get together and work-out this misunderstanding. Unfortunately even if I wanted to, he has gone on to the airlines.. Like I told Sam and Mark, while it's good to know I can indeed descend below MDA before MAP, I am not going to. *Especially at my airport where it's a circle to land and I just don't feel safe having to make turns 300 feet AGL to land. Should add for clarity before Mark and Sam get on their high horse, so we didn't bog down KJAN traffic, we used my VFR GPS in lieu of an ADF to work around the ADF required to identify BRENZ so I could get ILS and LOC experience. On my checkride, I did my approaches at KJAN (ILS, BC before decommissioning and LOC) since I didn't have ADF to legally conduct approaches at KHKS. |
