BY ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE AIR FORCE ...

AFMAN 11-217V1 3 JANUARY 2005 157
system, always use the IAP distributed via printed FLIP.
8.5.1.2.1.2. IAPs downloaded from the NGA website in PDF format are
identical to those in the printed NGA approach books. Effective dates are
printed on the bottom of each downloaded page. The responsibility for
ensuring the current version of an IAP is onboard lies with the pilot.
8.5.1.2.1.3. If you print an IAP from the JEPPVIEW CD distributed by
Jeppesen (or another equivalent commercial product), ensure the CD is
current and you are a licensed user of that CD. If you do not know the
license arrangement with Jeppesen (or other commercial vendor), do not use
the IAP. The vendors and USAF take copyright violations very seriously. It
is the responsibility of each pilot to ensure not only currency of IAPs prior to
use, but also compliance with copyright and licensing agreements. These
agreements may vary from Wing to Wing.
8.5.1.2.1.4. Do not fly Host Nation IAPs unless properly trained and the
procedure(s) are approved by your MAJCOM TERPS.
8.5.1.2.2. Low altitude IAP charts normally depict instrument approaches for
categories A, B, C, and D aircraft. High altitude IAP charts depict instrument
approaches for category C, D, and E aircraft. When an operational requirement
exists, the low altitude IAP charts may depict category E procedures.
8.5.1.2.2.1. NOTE: If there is a discrepancy between stand-alone GPS
approach charts and the database onboard the aircraft, the chart takes
precedence.
8.5.1.2.2.2. NOTE: Consult the Terminal Change Notice (TCN) to ensure the
approach selected is current.
8.5.1.3. Navigation Equipment Compatibility. Ensure the approach you select is
compatible with the navigation equipment installed and operating on your aircraft,
including the missed approach instructions.
8.5.1.3.1. Exception: If there is a requirement to execute an approach
procedure with incompatible missed approach instructions, ATC may be able to
issue alternate missed approach instructions. Request alternate missed approach
instructions prior to accepting approach clearance.
8.5.1.3.1.1. NOTE: This requirement for alternate missed approach
instructions does not preclude practice approaches if the field is VFR
according to AFI 11-202 Volume 3, General Flight Rules.
