These are the segments of an approach procedure...
final approach ROC tapers from 200 min to 500' ROC at the FAF, Correct?
Havent you ever wondered in the calculations what sets the location of the FAF?
Its when the ROC taper hits 500' for the next segment...NOW you know.
Intermediate segments are 500' ROC, and Initial segments are 1000' ROC unless mountainous, then 2000' ROC...
Correct?
Now try to explain, the precipitous terrain algorithm...
