or some higher speed required for airplane controllability. This speed, at the maximum certificated
landing weight, determines the lowest applicable approach category for all approaches regardless of actual landing weight.
EXAMPLE
−
Cross Redding VOR at or above five thousand, cleared VOR runway three four approach.
or
Five miles from outer marker, turn right heading three three zero, maintain two thousand until established on the localizer,
cleared ILS runway three six approach.
NOTE
−
The altitude assigned will assure IFR obstruction clearance from the point at which the approach clearance is issued until
established on a segment of a published route or IAP. If uncertain of the meaning of the clearance, immediately request
clarification from ATC.
An aircraft is not established on an approach while below published approach altitudes. If the MVA/MIA allows, and ATC
assigns an altitude below an IF or IAF altitude, the pilot will be issued an altitude to maintain until past a point that the
aircraft is established on the approach.
