Arrival Procedures

6.

U.S. Government charts depict TAAs using icons located in the plan view outside the depiction of the

actual approach procedure. (See FIG 5

4

6). Use of icons is necessary to avoid obscuring any portion of the “T”

procedure (altitudes, courses, minimum altitudes, etc.). The icon for each TAA area will be located and oriented
on the plan view with respect to the direction of arrival to the approach procedure, and will show all TAA
minimum altitudes and sector/radius subdivisions. The IAF for each area of the TAA is included on the icon
where it appears on the approach to help the pilot orient the icon to the approach procedure. The IAF name and
the distance of the TAA area boundary from the IAF are included on the outside arc of the TAA area icon.
