GPS APPROACH EXAMPLES
In the examples that follow, the GPS waypoints are shown along the approach
path. In some cases, intermediate database waypoints have been added to approach-
es. These waypoints are named using lower case letters using the following conven-
tion (the most common database waypoints are defined below). Note that these way-
points are not charted on NOS approach plates. They do appear on current Jeppesen
approach charts.
• dyyyj—
DME arc waypoint where yyy is the radial from the
reference facility (VOR) and j represents the arc
radius (e.g., “a”= 1 nm, “b”= 2 nm)
• cfxx or cfxxx—
course fix for runway xx or radial xxx
• ffxx or ffxxx—
final approach fix for runway xx or radial xxx
• rwxx—
runway xx threshold
• nxxhp—
