SDF Approach?
John Godwin wrote:
In wanting to find out more about it, I pull it up on Airnav, and see that Runway 23 has an SDF approach. It looks like a LOC approach, no OM, MM, IM, or glideslope. So my question is, what exactly is this type of approach, and how does it differ from a LOC approach? The Simplified Directional Facility is similar to a Localizer but may be offset from the runway and the course may be wider than a Localizer. The important thing to know is that you fly it just like you fly a localizer... just don't be surprised if the runway is angled away from you a little bit when you break out. I used to have to fly an SDF approach into Greenville, NC all the time. Washington Center would give radar vectors until I picked up the NDB that was the IAF for the approach, then it was all on me. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com
