When an underlying approach such as a VOR or NDB approach does not have an inbound FAF one is created or added Combined Initial and Final Approach Fix with no intermediate waypoints Sometimes a procedure turn MAP Approach Notes or course reversal is required this usually depends on the direction of flight Missed Approach Point MAHP Missed Approach Holding Point ARC APPR A DME arc terminator The preceding flight plan leg is described as an arc to this waypoint An ARC waypoint may follow another ARC waypoint An intermediate approach waypoint These are sometimes used as step down fixes or to define a course to the next approach waypoint An Apollo GX TSO C129a approach will always begin at an IAF It will always contain at a minimum an IAF FAF MAP and MAHP sequence The IAF and FAF may be combined Waypoints may be used more than once the same waypoint could be the IAF the MAP and the MAHP however TSO C129a non precision approaches require that there always be a distinct FAF to MAP leg Intermediate waypoints of type APPR or ARC may be anywhere in the sequence except between the FAF and the MAP The following example uses the VOR DME RWY 12 GPS overlay approach to Baker City Oregon The Apollo GX has a flight plan loaded from the Salem Oregon airport to the Deschutes VOR DSD to the Baker City airport BKE An approach the VOR DME RWY 12 approach with the D272Y waypoint on the BKE VOR 272
