5.2 NPA WITH FAF

5.2.1 FAF location This segment begins at a facility or fix, called the final approach fix (FAF) and ends at the missed approach point (MAPt) (see Figure I-4-1-1). The FAF is sited on the final approach track at a distance that permits selection of final approach configuration, and descent from intermediate approach altitude/height to the appropriate MDA/H either for a straight-in approach or for a visual circling. The optimum distance for locating the FAF relative to the threshold is 9.3 km (5.0 NM). The maximum length should not normally be greater than 19 km (10 NM). The minimum length is equal to 5.6 km (3.0 NM) and this value may be increased if required in case of a turn at the FAF for category D, DL and E aircraft.

5.4 PRECISION APPROACH

5.4.1 Final approach point (FAP) The final approach segment begins at the final approach point (FAP). This is a point in space on the final approach track where the intermediate approach altitude/height intercepts the nominal glide path/microwave landing system (MLS) elevation angle.

Peter,

das ist, wie unschwer zu erkennen, die Definition der ICAO. Schrieb ich ja.

Die FAA definiert das anders, und schert sich dabei nicht um ICAO, und darum gibt es in USA auch keinen Unterschied zwischen FAF und FAP. Und Jeppesen ist eine US-amerikanische Firma.

Was ist daran falsch?
