OLV GPS 36 approach question
Tim Auckland wrote:
To me, the issue hinges on whether the controller thought he was issuing a clearance based on the traditional method of clearing the plane to the IAF. In this case, it's my belief that the controller made a mistake, and should have assigned 2800 as the altititude. If, on the hand, the controller was intending to follow the new procedure of "direct clearance to an intermediate fix", then 2100 is appropriate, but the controller should have advised the pilot to "expect clearance direct to the Intermediate Fix" while the plane was at least 5 miles from the fix. The OP didn't indicate whether or not he was advised of this. Good points. |
