2) A chart with an intermediate approach fix.

Look at some "RNAV (GPS)" approaches. As far as I can remember, they are the only ones I've ever seen with Intermediate Fixes, although I'm sure there are probably others.

Welp, I can find one with a TAA, and I can find one with an IF, but not one with both. I'm stumped.
As a side note, while I was paging through my jepps (yes, I really have nothing better to do), I stumbled across a pretty interesting approach. PAR/ASR Rwys 8, 26 down in Ft. Huachuca, AZ. Not something you see too often, especially seeing as how it doesn't have an MSA or TAA. I wonder if they'll let you do practice approaches?

See it all the time......
You can do practice approaches if you want, just know how a ASR/PAR works and what the pilot responsibilities are for it, and what ATC expects/will do for you. That's the main part that not many civilian pilots know, and admittedly, the AIM doesn't cover these types of approaches very well. Why you ask? Very few PARs at civilian-only fields, and ASRs are only a little more prevelant. But being that they're in the National Airspace System and one could use one sometime, especially in a pinch, IMO, the AIM should give them a little more than a couple of paragraphs.

You could just go out to your nearest pilot shop and spend the $4 on the Southwest plate set...

Naw seriously, I don't know where you'd be able to find something like that.

Hahahaha! I can picture that, because I've done the very same thing. Usually looking for instrument covers though...those things seem to grow legs!
