IAF on Jeppesen Approach Charts.

[B737NG_Pilot]

On approaches which begin overhead, the IAF is never written why? Its written for approaches with DME ARC.

Thanks.

Which country? My Australian Jepp charts have overhead IAFs written.

Thanks Aero, VAUD VOR Z Rwy 26. (13-1A) , Udaipur India. Most overhead approaches, don't have IAF Marked.

According to the Jeppesen legend, they are displayed when specified by the State.
Maybe India doesn't specify the IAF when it's the overhead.

Hi Pub, if could prove me with the page number. I am unable to find it in my Jepp Legend or AWM... Thanks

India states that it complies with ICAO doc 8168 for approaches.

3.1.1.1 "In the initial approach, the aircraft has left the en-route structure and is manoeuvring to enter the intermediate approach segment"

3.2.1 " Where no suitable IAF or IF is available to construct the instrument procedure in the form shown in Figure I-4-1-1 [shows a straight in approach], a reversal procedure, racetrack or holding pattern is required. "

Aerocat-which aerodromes? I've looked at a few my charts and no reversals show the IAF overhead.

BN VOR RW01 chart 13-1 Jun 13 was the first I looked it. It has the VOR marked as an IAF. I didn't bother looking at others.

Ok. I looked at YBRM, YMAV and YPPD VORs. No IAFs marked for the reversal. I wonder what's different with the white shoe brigade?

[AerocatS2A]

My YBRM charts have the NDB marked as an IAF. These are Jeppview charts on the iPad, what are you looking at?

Thank you all for your replies. But the question remains unanswered.

VARK(ILS 23), OMFJ(VORX or VOR W RWT 29), VGHS (VOR RWY 32) are some charts where the VOR/NDB are not marked as the IAF.

Whereas KOBK (VOR-A), YBRM, YMAV all have IAF marked for reversals, procedure turns.
