It seems that recently approach charts have appeared labeled "ILS or LOC" --
examples are at HAO and RMN.

Is this a change?

Why?

In the past ILS approaches with an underlying LOC would still be titled
"ILS".

TERPs naming conventions were changed about three years ago. It takes a long
time for this stuff to factor into the system.

I was flying the ILS/LOC at HAO the other day and was wondering about the
same thing. Could the fact that the LOC approach has a step down fix past
the FAF have something to do with this?

Don't wonder. The TERPs naming convention was changed about three years ago
for any number of reasons. You can try to read your view-in-a-vacuum until
you're blue in the face. What difference does it make in normal operations
anyway?

<<read your view-in-a-vacuum >>

Can you translate this phrase? Sounds like something I'd like to use,
but I want to know what I'm saying. ;-)

Speculation without checking the appropriate sources to hopefully
determine whether the chart name is kosher or some fed had a wild hair
somewhere.
