In a previous article, said:
If you have the NACO chart note at the top center that this is a USAF developed procedure, not an FAA procedure. Well, John Haggerty at the FAA (Eastern Instrument Procedures branch) saw this thread, and forwarded my question (correcting my mistake about saying BAF instead of CEF) and the other question about "track 228" on the missed approach to Tim Lovell at the USAF (afrc.af.mil). So hopefully either John will post the answer here, or I'll get CC'ed on the response so that I can post it here. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ What philology luser tried to hang "fear of sameness" on bigotry?

I've spent a couple hours trying to figure this one out, and still don't know how to gt down to 900 feet. Thanks John, and everyone else who's answered my questions. z |

Could it be because the military guys used TACAN approaches? Its possible, but what would a TACAN give out as information to allow you down to 900 feet if no DME is on board? This is an odd one.... z |

He's not the only FAA TERPster to needle the Air Force about it today. |

You can spend a year trying to figure it out, and will still not have an answer. ;-) |

Nope, TACAN operates just like VOR and DME, except it is integreted and is less prone to errors from close in reflections, such as on big boats. |
