Segmented approach
Lufthansa and German Authorities seem to have put a new procedure in place for approaching FFT where aircrafts intercept the ILS signal at much shorter distances in order to avoid urban areas.
Can anyone tell me more information on this? Can this type of approach be made mandatory to all aircrafts landing at FFT or is it just for LH aircrafts? Does it put more work / pressure on pilots flying the aircraft? What is the minimal distance at which the ILS can be intercepted? Are segmented approaches in place at other locations? For which reasons?
