CHAPTER SIX

If proceeding direct to CEW at 5000, off airways (see Figure 648), and cleared

for the VOR or GPSA approach, 5000 must be maintained until crossing the

Crestview VOR.

If no FAF is depicted on the approach, then maintain the aircraft on the inbound course

to the station and descend to the MDA or any step down altitudes that may be depicted.

If a FAF is depicted, then maintain the aircraft on the inbound course to the station at the

minimum altitude depicted. This will be the FAF altitude.

Once established on course or with a shallow intercept transition to BAC (a shallow

intercept is defined as aircraft heading within 30 of the final approach course).

Transition to BAC as follows:

From Normal Cruise: Reduce power to 450 ft-lbs, Gear Down, descend at 450

ft-lbs if required. If remaining level, set power to 600 ft-lbs.

ii.

From Slow Cruise: Power remains at 450 ft-lbs, Gear Down, descend at 450 ft-

lbs if required. If remaining level, set power to 600 ft-lbs.

At the FAF perform the following procedures (6 Ts):

TIME Start the clock's sweep second hand.

ii.

TURN To parallel the final approach course.

iii.

TIME Second timing not required.

iv.

TRANSITION Begin descent to the MDA when established on course and

comply with any published altitude restrictions.

On final, descend at 120 knots with 450 ftlbs torque. In the case of shorter

distances from the FAF to the MAP, it may be necessary to reduce power to 300

ftlbs torque in order to get to the MDA in a timely manner.

NOTES

On a non-precision approach, you want to reach your

minimum descent altitude prior to reaching your MAP. This

enables you to acquire the runway environment sooner to allow an

easier transition to land.

Some approaches have progressively lower step-down

altitudes; you must comply with all altitude restrictions on the

approach in order to ensure obstacle clearance.
