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

AFMAN 11-217V1 3 JANUARY 2005 185
greater than 2 NM to the MAP, the stepdown fix is coded in the database as the
Sensor FAF waypoint for the waypoint sequence. If a stepdown fix distance is 2
NM or less to the MAP, a Sensor FAF waypoint is coded at least 4 NM to the
MAP.
8.5.8.3.4. Non-Codable Approach Procedures. Certain nonprecision instrument
approaches may present an irresolvable coding situation relating to database or
equipment interface constraints. An approach may be determined to be not
codable or not flyable by the regulatory agency having jurisdiction, by the
database coding agency, or by the manufacturer of the navigation equipment. In
addition, some procedures may present a potential safety hazard to normal
piloting techniques using GPS equipment. These procedures will not be included
in navigation databases. Approach procedures that are omitted from the database
cannot be legally flown using GPS navigation equipment.
8.5.9. Relationship of Avionics Displayed Waypoints to Charted Data. The GPS
Approach Overlay Program waypoints contained in the database represent the waypoints,
fixes, NAVAIDs, and other points portrayed on a published approach procedure
beginning at the initial approach fix. Certain unnamed points and fixes appearing on a
chart are assigned a database identifier. Although there currently is no requirement to
provide these database identifiers, most charting agencies are publishing them at their
discretion. Database identifiers should not be used for pilot/controller communications or
on flight plans.
8.6. Instrument Cockpit Check. Before flight, accomplish a thorough instrument cockpit
check. You should check the applicable items listed below (unless your flight manual or
command directives dictate otherwise):
8.6.1. Publications. Ensure appropriate, up-to-date publications obtained from an
authorized source are in the aircraft.
8.6.1.1. If you are authorized to carry Jeppesen products, ensure you have Book 1
(summary, notices, legend information, etc.) and ALL the pages for the appropriate
airport. Important information is contained on the back of the airfield diagram page.
Radio out procedures are often contained on a different page from the IAP you are
using. Without Book 1 and all the pages for the airport, you may miss crucial
information.
8.6.1.2. Host nation FLIP documents, enroute charts, IAPs, etc, will not be used
without MAJCOM approval IAW AFI 11-202 Volume 3, General Flight Rules.
8.6.2. Pitot Heat. Check for proper operation.
8.6.3. Attitude Indicators.
8.6.3.1. Erect. Ensure it is erect and that the bank pointer is aligned vertically with
the zero bank index. Check your flight manual for tolerance limits.
8.6.3.2. Flags. Ensure the warning flags are not visible.
8.6.3.3. Alignment. Check the pitch trim knob alignment and ensure it is within
limits, then set the miniature aircraft or horizon bar for takeoff.
