Jeppesen Charts missing names?
I was flying into KSNY (Sidney, NE) after shooting an approach into KAKO
(Akron, CO) and requested the VOR DME Rwy 12 approach. I told center that I wanted to do the full approach complete with the DME arc, as I needed practice with these (currently an instrument student). The controller cleared me direct to OGJUN. Problem is on the Jeppesen chart the DME arc shows an IAF for the arc on either the 220 and 040 radials from the VOR with a DME distance of 10 nm but neither is labeled with any sort of name. Thankfully my instructor had the other type of approach plate with him and that has the names labeled so I knew which one to fly to (I could have asked the controller I guess). So my question is, why doesn't the Jeppesen chart have the IAFs on the respective arcs labeled with the names? I thought Jeppesen charts had all the same information that the others did, just a different overall format? -- Louis L. Perley III N46000 |

What *appears* to have happened is that Jeppesen elected to remove those fixes when the standalong RNAV approaches for Runways 12 and 30 became effective last year, and the GPS overlay authorization was removed from the VOR/DME 12 IAP. But, those fixes are still authorized for GPS transition onto the approach, although you can no longer use GPS for the final approach segment. Seems to me like Jeppesen screwed up removing them, based on the false assumption that GPS can no longer be used to fly the ARC initial segments because it's no longer an overlay approach. When you call them, you might point out that ATC is still using those fixes for /G aircraft. I presume you were /G? |

Louis,
my apologies in case my answer might not be correct - I don't hold an IFR rating. However, my impression of the NACO chart is that the OGJUN fix is not an actual fix but rather a Computer Navigation Fix (CNF) which happens to be named OGJUN on the NACO chart but D040J in the Jeppesen Electronic Databases. This is also indicated by the small 'x' on the NACO chart. So, if R-040/10 DME is indeed a CNF, is it correct that the (NACO) CNF name should not be used in ATC communication? I wonder why the controller used the name OGJUN in his communication then. Consequently, the Jeppesen chart would be correct because there is no official name for this waypoint but only 'electronic' data- base names - which are different between Jeppesen and NACO. Markus |

NACO is correct in charting them. Jeppesen is not correct if they are still using internally generated CNFs. You are also correct that ATC should not be using CNFs in clearances, but water tends to flow in that direction, so to speak. CNFs do not have to be pronouncable for that reason. Try saying CFDKO. ;-) SIDNEY, NE 26109 SIDNEY MUNI / LLOYD W.
