CHAPTER SIX

Procedure. The following procedures assume that you arrived at the IAF, MINIM, at

normal cruise airspeed (no prior holding), and cleared for the STARKVILLE/OKTIBBEHA VOR

or GPSB straightin approach (Figure 669).

At the IAF (Using an enroute feeder fix that is identified as either "NO PT" or "IAF"

such as "MINIM"):

TIME Not required.

ii.

TURN Turn in shortest direction to intercept the initial approach course

(258).

iii.

TIME If required.

NOTE

When distance from the IAF to the Final Approach Fix is excessive,

i.e., more than 5 NM, cruise airspeed should be maintained and

BAC procedure delayed until within 5 NM of the FAF. If DME is

not available, the time required to fly to a point within 5 NM can be

estimated at a rate of 2.5 miles per minute if flying at 150 knots. In

this example, approximately eight minutes are required to proceed

to a point within 5 NM of the FAF. (24 5 = 19 NM; 19 / 2.5 = 8

minutes). Timing is not required if DME is available, but should be

used as a backup in case DME fails.

iv.. TRANSITION

(a)

If a descent is required, establish the aircraft on course (step "v") and then

use terminal descent procedures to descend to the altitude specified (1900

feet) and level off at normal cruise airspeed.

When within 5 miles of the FAF:

(b)

Make a level or descending transition to BAC.

TWIST

(a)

Twist the initial approach course (IAC) into the IND350 (258).

(b)

Turn to intercept the initial approach course. Track inbound to the FAF.

vi.

TALK Give the appropriate voice report if required.

Comply with any altitude restrictions on the approach.
