Hi,

Can anyone tell me the definition of the abbreviation FADO wrt landing sites? Just can't seem to find it anywhere :confused:

Is it not FATO? Final Approach / Take Off

Question got asked by a mate on another site. Only place I could come up with a mention was this :- http://www.nwhelicopters.com/nwh/content/view/31/48/
He'll kick himself it it's a bloody typo :bored:

Got this plate as well. Still could be a typo though :-

Thing is, we know what they are, just can't work out the abbreviation.

Bests, Giz

Yep, pretty certain it's a typo (in multiple places too, looking at the web site!)

FATO: Final Approach and Take Off area. See ICAO Annex 14 and 6 etc for more info.
