7.6 Approach Brief

Vertical information for Rwy35-y for LGKR

This is the vertical information of the IAC Chart. Take note of the three things circled on the chart, namely IAF,

FAF or VIP, and MAPT.

The approach is divided into three following sections:

1. IAF is the Initial Approach Fix, which denotes the start of Initial Approach.

2. FAF is the Final Approach Fix and VIP (vertical Interception Point), which denotes the start of Final

Approach.

3. MAPT is the Missed Approach Point. At this point, the pilot must GO AROUND if he doesn’t have visual

with the runway or if the approach is not stable at that point.

Note: DECEL point is usually in-between IAF and FAF.

7.7 Required PFD Symbology Knowledge

Before we begin the actual tutorial, you should know the basic PFD symbology that will be used on this

approach.

The illustration here on the left hand side

of the page explains the Flight Path Vector

and Flight Path Director, also known as the

FPV/FPD or Birdie. This symbology appears

when the pilot selects TRK/FPA on the FCU.

It is important to be able to read,

understand and interpret the FPV/FPD in a

timely fashion as workload during a NPA

can be quite high.
