RX – runway extension fix
FA – VFR final approach fix
CF – final approach course fix
FF – final approach fix
IF – initial approach fix
OM – outer marker
MM – middle marker
IM – inner marker
BM – back course marker
MD – minimum descent altitude
A – (+ an alpha) step down fix
RW – runway threshold
MA – missed approach point other than RW
TD – touchdown point inboard of RW.


Alpha suffixes are also DME points. Eg. D095L would be 12DME (L = 12th letter) on the 095 radial.
