If you have the time and it isn't a hughe deal, both would be great. I have a picture in my head what you do, but I would like to see if I am correct.
Thank you! :beer:
Note: My operator is specifically approved for this procedure via OpSpecs and is trained in this procedure. This is only for discussion and you shouldn't try this at home. Fly safe and smart out there!!!
So we'll use GRR for this example.
Let's say we get the VOR17, but only have the RNAV 17 in the FMS data base. We'll compare the VOR17 plate to the the RNAV 17 we have in the box.
The plan view comes out the the same course. So we can modify the waypoints out side the final fix, and change the altitude constraints. On the missed you can see 2 obvious changes, as there is an additional fix on the missed, so that would be deleted, and the 4nm hold would be changed to the standard hold per the procedure.
Obviously, with the rapid propogation of RNAV approaches in the states, it's difficult for me to find an airport we fly into that would be much of an issue. However, outside the US, there are alot of places that you'll do an NDB, but since we don't have the NDB plates, we would have to modify the RNAV.
This is rudimentary, and purposely so, as I don't want all our tricks out there, as to not encourage this unless you have the proper training.
If you ahave more questions or whatever, I'd be happy to answer them in a more private manner.
Have fun out there!!
