Approach Plate Question

Plane Trouble said:
Is this saying that if you are using KECEG intersection as a fix you can lower the S-LOC 4 minimums from 1180 and a mile to 820 and a mile?

Thanks... I know its crazy but thats actually the first time I can remember when I have seen something like that on a chart...

Yes. If you have the ability in your aircraft to identify the KECEG fix using the radial off of OWB VORTAC, then you can descend to those lower mins.

If you don't have a second OBS or RMI or other NAV radio to be able to do this, you're stuck using the higher MDA.

What, you mean you don't want to be change NAV frequencies when you are only 800' off the deck and descending in hard IMC in an old 150 that only has one VOR receiver? You pansy, and here I thought you were some big tough military pilot that could do anything.

I can't even shoot the IAP, as I don't have a VOR.......:D

Not necessarily. You can cross tune with a single VOR. You can also ask approach to fix the intersection for you.

It depends if you're allowed to or not. My ops specs specify we're not allowed to cross-tune inside the FAF, due to crosstuning that close-in not being very safe, IMHO.

I was also talking worst case here, if approach and tower weren't open.
