g. Once the BAC transition is complete and the descent to MDA established, the PAP

procedures are identical to those on previously introduced approaches.

After switching to 344.2 and at the PAP:

SNFO:

"North Whiting Tower, Turbo 11, final approach fix, three d o w n and

locked, full stop."

TOWER:

"Turbo 11, North Whiting Tower, roger, cleared to land Runway 14."

SNFO:

"Turbo 11, cleared to land 14."

2. STRAIGHT IN APPROACHES WITHOUT THE IAF ON THE FAC

Introduction - These approaches utilize intersections, TACAN fixes and other navaids for an

IAF. They expedite the flow of arriving aircraft at a destination by using IAFs which are

favorably positioned to establish the aircraft inbound on the final approach course without having

to execute a procedure turn. The term "No PT" is used on approach plates to designate straight-in

procedures where a procedure turn is also printed on the approach plate (Figure 19). When

distance from the IAF to the Final Approach Fix is excessive, i.e., more than 5 miles, normal

cruise airspeed should be maintained and the BAC procedure delayed until within 4-5 nm. Note

the initial approach fix is on the airway to simplify the transition from the enroute phase to the

terminal phase of flight. Figure 18 displays the enroute low altitude (L-16) chart in the area of

Corpus Christi.
