Standard Instrument Procedures...published in text form?
All,
I was once told that instrument procedures (i.e. approaches) are published in text form, and then rendered into NOS charts (and a similar process for Jeppesen). 1) Is this true? 2) If so, is this "raw" data available to the public somewhere? I'm looking for something similar to the ATA-100 databases which can be purchased from the FAA. 3) How did NOS wind up producing the charts anyway? Thanks in advance, mark |

instrument procedures (i.e. approaches) are published in text form,
and then rendered into NOS charts 1) Is this true? Sort of. They aren't "published" exactly. The Flight Procedures Office fills out several forms that describe the instrument approaches. If so, is this "raw" data available to the public somewhere? Not really. They're on file at the regional Flight Procedures Offices. They can let you look at copies, or they may even fax copies to you. (I have several.) |

IIRC FAA Form 8020-5 is what FAA ends up sending out for publication. I'll
see if I can find an old one Al "Mark Astley" wrote in message ...

After reading a few posts and searching around some more I found the forms:
8260-3 8260-4 8260-5 Now I guess I'll just call the regional Flight Standards office and see if I can get a few. I'm surprised they're not archived online somewhere. Oh well. thanks for the help, mark "Allan9" wrote in message ... IIRC FAA Form 8020-5 is what FAA ends up sending out for publication.

The source document is the Form 8260-3 or 8260-5. Those are actually individual
amendments to FAR Part 97, and are published by reference in the federal register. They are available for inspection at any regional flight procedures office. Jeppesen, and others, subscribe to them. I suspect the subscription is expensive. The adjunct forms, such as the 8260-2, which is issued for each intersection, VOR, and waypoint is converted into electronic form and the chart makers use that elecronic compilation for all the fixes, holding patterns, and waypoints. Whenever new or revised procedures are in regulatory coordination, which means the public can review and comment about them, they are on AVN-100 procedures website at: http://avn.faa.gov/acifp.asp They have all the forms there, including the 8260-9, record of controlling obstacles for each segment, which are not released to chart makers. They also have color terps maps of the protected airspace, although they are not easy to read.

That site gives you the fixes and navaids (and a bunch of other stuff), but
not the actual procedures. As others have posted, these are published via the 8260 forms and appear to only be online during a review period. One can apparently subscribe to receive the various forms every two weeks but I imagine that's quite expensive. Thanks for all the answers. mark "Craig Davidson" wrote in message nk.net...

Thanks in advance, mark Just curious...why would you want to see the approaches in text form? |
