Brad Z wrote: I'll give Richard the benefit of the doubt that the inclusion of the Bryne intersection makes this approach just a bit different from your typical on-airport "No FAF" out-n-back approach. The Bryne intersection only serves as a step-down when using the Pittsburgh altimeter setting. While it serves to aid in situational awareness when flying the approach without GPS, it does not serve as a FAF. The fact that there is no timing information from FAF to MAP is another clue. *Every* on-airport, no-FAF NRB orVOR IAP approved for GPS overlay has a sensor FAF. It is not unique to this location. What is different about this location is that BRYNE is a stepdown fix for optional lower minimums, but nonetheless it becomes the sensor FAF when it's tagged as "FAF" in the database. And, this isn't the only on-airport, no-FAF IAP with an optional stepdown fix. Those have been around for years, long before GPS. |
