I was 17 miles EAST of the airport, intercepting the localizer. I was at
5000 feet, and just got "cleared for the approach". I was IFR. Also, if he said cross HAIGS at or above 4,000 feet, is that a clearence to descend to 4,000 feet? Yes. Can you provide a reference for that fact? So if that is the case, when can the descent be initiated? Pilots discretion? "Newps" wrote in message ... "Chris Brooks" wrote in message ... We need more information. Exactly where were you and exactly what did the controller say? If you were VFR and practicing approaches while VFR then it doesn't matter what he said because the last thing he'll say is maintain VFR. When you are VFR it is not necessary for the controller to follow the regs as if you were IFR. When does a published part of the approach begin? On any thick black line. At HAIGS? Sure. Can you be considered on a published part of the approach before crossing HAIGS? While doing the procedure turn. Also, if he said cross HAIGS at or above 4,000 feet, is that a clearence to descend to 4,000 feet? Yes. Most of the time when shooting ILS's the controller will step you down to the altitude that is on the chart. Were you IFR at the time? If you were VFR then the controller does not ever have to mention an altitude. |
