"Richard Hertz" wrote in message et... Right, but why should that force the odd differences in the final segments of the approaches? e.g. - the "Fly visual 2.5 nm" on the LOC/DME 19 and the 1600 and 2 (loc/dme 19) vs the 1580 and 1 1/4 minima (loc 19 with dme)? I suppose there is no good reason for the differences (the different minima and MAPs) I'm not a TERPS expert, I'm pretty much just guessing. There is higher terrain to the south, southwest, and west of KRUT. Climbing to 2600 via the RUT VOR/DME 221 radial allows you to avoid these rocks until you're above them. Without the positive course guidance provided by RUT VOR/DME you're left with climb gradient requirements that can't be met with the MAP at I-RUT 1.9 DME so the MAP must be pushed back to 3.4 DME. |
