There is no PT identified on the chart so it needs no "NoPT" to tell you not

have PTs (the approach has PT) but where some IAF do not require a PT and
some do.


Jeppesen doesn't chart "Procedure Turn N/A" which is quite different than
"NoPT." "NoPT" is used only on segments of an IAP that has a course reversal
and a segment so marked does not require the course reversal. Jeppesen's view
is that the lack of a course reversal (PT or HIL) makes it self-evident that the
course reversal is not authorized.



As for the Radar required - check the 2 NM and 1.1 NM points on the chart -
it looks like they have it there for that? (Though I suppose your GPS might
be able to tell you that but it probably is not a waypoint).

Yes, your GPS can tell you and, no, it is not a waypoint. It is an Along Track
Distance (ATD) fix, which is like a DME stepdown fix.

"13. Unnamed stepdown fixes in the final approach segment will not be coded in
the waypoint sequence of the aircraft's navigation database and must be
identified using ATD. Stepdown fixes in the final approach segment of RNAV (GPS)
approaches are being named, in addition to being identified by ATD. However,
since most GPS avionics do not accommodate waypoints between the FAF and MAP,
even when the waypoint is named, the waypoints for these stepdown fixes may not
appear in the sequence of waypoints in the navigation database. Pilots must
continue to identify these stepdown fixes using ATD."
