system as you fly the prescribed track from the non-GPS navigation source.
7.12.3.8.4.3. If using the NDB/Compass locator as the active GPS WP, fix
passage occurs when the GPS bearing to the active WP is the same as the
charted NDB/Compass locator bearing for the fix as you fly the prescribed
track from the non-GPS navigation source.
7.12.3.8.5. Holding over an NDB/Compass locator.
7.12.3.8.5.1. Select CDI terminal sensitivity (+- 1 nm) if in the terminal
area.
7.12.3.8.5.2. Select the NDB/compass locator as the active WP. Fix must be
retrieved from a current approved database.
7.12.3.8.5.3. Program holding pattern IAW the flight manual.
7.12.3.8.5.4. Hold using approved procedures.
7.12.4. GPS In Lieu Of A Named Intersection. GPS equipment certified for IFR
terminal area operations IAW AFI 11-202 Volume 3, General Flight Rules, may be used
to identify a named intersection for en route and terminal operations, except for use as the
principal instrument approach navigation source (U.S. National Airspace only):
7.12.4.1. Determining position over a named intersection.
7.12.4.1.1.1. Select the charted named intersection from database as active
WP. Named waypoints must be retrieved from the database; waypoint data
may not be entered manually or modified in any way.
7.12.4.1.1.2. You are over the named fix when the GPS system indicates you
are over the active WP.
7.12.5. GPS Terminal Area Restrictions
7.12.5.1. Definition of Terminal Area Procedures. The FAA does not define the
dividing line between terminal area procedures and other types of RNAV procedures
(DP, STARS, etc.). In some areas, for example where terrain is a factor, transitioning
to terminal area accuracy would be appropriate from the beginning of the STAR. In
other areas, for example in eastern Kansas where the terrain is relatively flat, terminal
accuracy would not be required until on the approach. To preclude confusion, the
USAF has adopted the following as procedure. Terminal Area Procedures and
Restrictions as described below apply when on any segment of a published
instrument approach procedure or Level 1 departure procedure. See paragraph
9.13 for a definition of Level 1 departure procedure.
7.12.5.1.1. Equipment must meet the requirements of AFI 11-202 Volume 3
General Flight Rules and have an operational RAIM capability.
7.12.5.1.2. All waypoints, fixes, facility locations must be retrieved from a
current aircraft database. Users may not alter terminal procedures retrieved from
the equipment database.
7.12.5.1.3. Pilots must double check all waypoint names, sequence, course,
distance, and altitude information from the database against information listed
