Re: Approach Plates and Charts
Even if the approach is radar vectored you still need an approach chart for the ILS, VOR, NDB or SRA you are using. For things like MDH/A, Minimum decent height/altitude, the lowest level the a/c can descend to without being visual with the runway or SDF, Step down fix, a minimum level at that point of the approach because of an obstacle etc. So a pilot should have the approach plate available however he fly’s the approach.
