approaches, +5 bearings for NDB approaches, and the CDI off full scale deflection for ILS/LOC

approaches. Do not descend to the FAF altitude unless continued tracking within these parameters

is ensured.

When the navaid is on the field and no FAF is depicted, plan the outbound leg so the descent to

MDA can be completed with sufficient time to acquire the runway and position the aircraft for a

normal landing. When flying this type of approach, consider the point of interception of the final

approach course as the final approach point (FAP). This is the point you are established inbound

and begin your descent from the procedure turn completion altitude. Since it is considered

equivalent to the FAF, you should establish approach configuration and airspeed and complete the

Landing Checklist prior to the FAP.

If given a clearance for the approach from ATC which contains a restriction such as "maintain

altitude until further advised" then you are expected to fly the procedure turn ground track at your

last assigned altitude. After the "altitude restriction is deleted," the published minimum altitude of

the route segment being flown will apply.

If given a clearance for the approach from ATC which contains a restriction such as "I will call

your procedure turn" then you are expected to proceed outbound using course guidance as

appropriate until advised by ATC. In this case, the pilot is no longer obligated to stay inside the

remain within distance. If you are unsure of the clearance and/or instructions, query the controller.

Report "procedure turn inbound" (point where course reversal is complete and established

inbound) when requested by ATC or as a courtesy to ATC (for separation purposes) if radio

congestion permits.

(a). The 45/180 degrees Course Reversal. One method you may use to accomplish a procedure turn

approach is the 45/180 degrees course reversal maneuver.

Entry. Upon reaching the procedure turn fix, turn in the shortest direction to intercept the

procedure turn course outbound. You may use normal leadpoints if practical.

Proceeding Outbound. Intercept and maintain the procedure turn course outbound as soon as

possible after passing the procedure turn fix.

Descent. Do not descend from the procedure turn fix altitude (published or assigned) until you

are abeam the procedure turn fix and on a parallel or intercept heading to the outbound track

(worded differently: abeam or wings level outbound, whichever occurs last). Do not descend

from the procedure turn completion altitude until you are established on the inbound segment of

the approach.
