900. INTRODUCTION<br />
CHAPTER NINE<br />
FINAL APPROACH PROCEDURES<br />
The previous chapter covered how to safely navigate to the final approach fix. This chapter will<br />
cover the segment between the FAF to the MAP. This segment of the approach is the most<br />
demanding, as the aircraft is slow, low, and configured.<br />
901. VOR APPROACH<br />
General. Fly the aircraft in a controlled and predictable manner to the MAP at the MDA in order<br />
to set the aircraft up for landing.<br />
Description. VOR approaches come in many different forms. Below is a list of some of the<br />
variations you may encounter as you go through training.<br />
1. Many VOR approaches require a small course change at the final approach fix.<br />
2. Some VOR approaches do not have an FAF.<br />
3 Some VOR approaches have DME, some do not.<br />
4. Timing may be required to identify the MAP.<br />
Procedure. In the following example (Figure 9-1), the aircraft is at the FAF, configured to<br />
BAC.<br />
1. Perform 6 Ts:<br />
a. TIME – Start timing, may be needed as a backup to identify the MAP if DME fails.<br />
b. TURN – Turn in shortest direction to parallel the final approach course (156º).<br />
c. TIME – Not required.<br />
d. TRANSITION – Set 15% torque, trim nose up for 120 KIAS, and allow the nose to<br />
fall in order to achieve 800-1000FPM rate of descent.<br />
e. TWIST – If not already done, twist the final approach course (FAC) into the CDI<br />
(156º) and set an intercept heading as required.<br />
f. TALK – Give the appropriate voice report if required.<br />
2. 100’ prior to MDA, slowly add power to arrest the rate of descent.<br />
