Again thanks - I am familiar with 'ff05' but not 'FN' - I assume there is no significance to a pilot in the different lettering - 'ff' / 'fn'? I see also it does refer to a 'Jepp NavData waypoint'.

Incidentally, I reckon that Garmin database is incorrect - it shows 4.3 to the 'map' which is actually the BZ? How can the MAP be the BZ anyway with only a 2 degree track change from THLD? In fact, where IS the MAP on an RNAV approach like that? Surely if the idea is to fly a CDA at 3 deg the MAP must be on the approach track at 680/890 (not 490!)? It looks like someone in Jepp is as confused as I am. I do hope that is not the actual database for NDB26 at VOBZ
which uses the same nav data as the actual hardware:
or there may be tears!

Is 'RW26' actually south of the threshold in the database?
