A squared, thanks for explaining the obvious to lonewolf...obvious to a professional aviator...I salute you and thanks that I don't have to answer it myself.

AND someone pointed out RADAR REQUIRED on an instrument apch...this has NOTHING to do with the Radar on the plane, it MEANS THAT ATC RADAR CONTACT/IDENTIFICATION and VECTORS to the apch course are required and that PILOT NAV is not allowed.

IE , no procedure turn, or arrival sector via airway.

IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU TURN YOUR WEATHER RADAR ON or have a radio /radar altimeter.


By the way, I mentioned in other posts there are non precision apchs that require 5 miles visibility and ceilings (though not reqd) over 2500'


sheesh
