Thanks Y'all!
Thanks for all your answers, but then again, thats a CAT III plate, and if you go lost comms, you're not legal to shoot the cat 3 approach, in which case the lack of an IAF doesnt matter anymore.Right? It also says radar required, so that you can get vectored for the intercept, so if you're lost comms, then you cant hear them vector you(assuming receiver failure....). I agree that radar can be used in lieu of a published IAF, but if the field goes non radar then you cant fly that approach for lack of an IAF. ANyways, check pilots pi$$ me off sometimes! I asked him these questions, and he asked me if I was testing him!
