Part II — Section 2, Chapter 4 II-2-4-3
4.5.2 Off-aerodrome facility — Circling approach
The MAPt is located at a point on the final approach track which is not farther from the FAF than the first usable
portion of the landing surface.
4.5.3 On-aerodrome facility
The MAPt is located at a point on the final approach track which is not farther from the FAF than the facility.
4.6 PROMULGATION
The general criteria in Part I, Section 2, Chapter 1, 1.10, “Promulgation” apply. The instrument approach chart for a
VOR approach procedure shall be identified by the title VOR RWY XX. If a DME is required it shall be indicated in a
note on the chart. When a DME has been used to obtain lower minima, no additional note is required as this shall be
shown in the minimum boxes. If a DME is used to define the distance/height relationship for a profile descent, the
information shall be published on the chart, preferably in increments of 2 km (1 NM). If separate approach charts are
published for different aircraft categories, the Duplicate Procedure Title convention shall be applied, with the approach
having the lowest minima being identified as ILS RWY XX, LLZ RWY XX, VOR Z RWY XX, NDB Y RWY XX, etc.
A note shall be included on the chart detailing the applicable aircraft categories.
Table II-2-4-1. Minimum length of final approach segment
after a turn over the FAF
Aircraft category Magnitude of turn over FAF
10° 20° 30° 60°
A 1.9 km (1.0 NM) 2.8 km (1.5 NM) 3.7 km (2.0 NM) —
B 2.8 km (1.5 NM) 3.7 km (2.0 NM) 4.6 km (2.5 NM) —
C 3.7 km (2.0 NM) 4.6 km (2.5 NM) 5.6 km (3.0 NM) —
D 4.6 km (2.5 NM) 5.6 km (3.0 NM) 6.5 km (3.5 NM) —
E 5.6 km (3.0 NM) 6.5 km (3.5 NM) 7.4 km (4.0 NM) —
H 1.9 km (1.0 NM) 2.8 km (1.5 NM) 3.7 km (2.0 NM) 5.6 km (3.0 NM)
This table may be interpolated. If turns of more than 30° (Cat H, 60°) are required, or if the minimum
lengths specified in the table are not available for the procedure, straight-in minimums are not authorized.
