ifr proceduresFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
How can an initial approach fix be identified on a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) Chart?
A
All fixes that are labeled "IAF" which are depicted on the plan view.✓ Correct Answer
B
Any fix depicted that is located on the final approach course.
C
Any fix depicted that is located on the final approach course prior to the final approach fix.
Explanation
On an instrument approach chart the initial approach fixes are marked with the letters IAF in the plan view (IPH Ch. 4). A fix simply lying on the final approach course is not an IAF by that fact; fixes on the final course may be intermediate fixes, step-down fixes or the FAF itself.
