GPT (Gulfport MS) ILS 14 question

I think a lot of folks may not know what "VICE" really means!

True. The FAA is supposed to promote good human factors. "Instead of" would be
much clearer, but it's 9 characters instead of 5, and their NOTAM system is old
and clunky.

I am looking at the chart and seeing that there is another IAF at the
LOM (BAYOU). If you were coming from the southwest/southeast,
presumably you would use this IAF and hence, fly the localizer outbound
and execute the PT.

If you were coming from the north, you would fly to the CAESA IAF,
intercept the localizer at 2000 and fly inbound, not PT needed.

About to take a trip down to Gulfport MS (GPT) tomorrow morning.

Ceilings are forecasted to be 300 broken, so I really doubt that I will be
mucking around with full procedure approaches in the clag, but while I was
studying the approaches into GPT, I am kinda figuring on expecting vectors
for the ILS 14 approach based on forecasted winds.

This question is coming up, as when I got my flight briefing, the briefer
said, no procedure turn at CAESA from Victor 552 which in my opinion
agrees
with the approach chart, yet I see the procedure turn barbs outbound 268
and inbound 088 to intercept the localizer.

Any assistance in clearing up my question really appreciated.

A0008/05 (FDC 5/0505) - ILS OR LOC RWY 14, AMDT 14... CHANGE PLANVIEW NOTE:
PROCEDURE NA FOR ARRIVALS AT CAESA VIA V552 WESTBOUND VICE V522 WESTBOUND.
WIE UNTIL UFN

The only reason a briefer would discuss the details of an instrument
approach procedure is if there was a NOTAM pertaining to it. Somewhere in
your discussion with the briefer, the "procedure" vs the "procedure turn"
got mixed up.

I'm looking at the NOS plate

(http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0501/00576IL14.PDF)

The "2000 NoPT" is marking the straight-in segment from CASEA, but the
way it's drawn, it's really hard to see that. I don't have an en-route
for that area, but I would assume there are multiple airways that go to
CASEA. It boils down to this:

1) If you're arriving CASEA on V522 westbound, the whole procedure is
NA. Not just the procedure turn, but the whole procedure.

2) If you're arriving at CASEA on any other airway, then the procedure
TURN is NA, i.e. you go straight-in.

3) If you're arriving at CASEA from BAYOU (perhaps via MUDDA, MINDO, or
GPT VOR).

The cartography here is horrible. I would have drawn the PT barb much
closer in; this would have made it clearer that the NoPT note pertained
to the segment inbound from CASEA.

Does anybody have a Jepp plate handy? Does Jepp draw it any better?


The other problem is the "Procedure NA" terminology is confusing.
Everybody is used to talking about "procedure turn", and the brain just
naturally reads "procedure NA" as "procedure turn NA". I've seen that
mistake made several times (and made it myself). A better note would be
"Approach not authorized for arrivals from V522 westbound". That would
be less likely to be mis-read. I'm sure getting that change into TERPS
would only require about 10 years of debate and paperwork.

It would be simpler if it said IAP not available. That would be clearer

They designate it with a note in the plan view near CAESA (it's a
Jepp note, inverse-video 1 next to CAESA, the text could appear
anywhere but happens to be right under CAESA for this procedure)
reading "Procedure not authorized for arrivals at CAESA via V522
westbound". Same effect if one isn't paying close attention to the
meaning of the text.
