6. EXAMPLES FOR CALCULATING
ALTITUDE CORRECTIONS ON CTAS
This change has updated the referenced instrument
approach procedures (IAPs) due to the FAA Order
8260.19 update to remove the requirement to those
references from the profile notes, and to add
explanatory language that altitude restrictions at
stepdown fixes in the final approach segment are not
applicable to instrument landing system (ILS),
Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance
(LPV), or LNAV/Vertical Navigation (VNAV)
approaches.

This change adds content to address go

responsibilities after conducting a visual approach for
aircraft either instructed to remain within the traffic
pattern or proceed as otherwise directed by air traffic
control (ATC). This change also addresses the
difference in approach clearances for locations with
or without an operating control tower.

10. WEATHER OBSERVING PRO-
GRAMS

Surface Observation System (ASOS) and the
Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS)
broadcasts.

4. INTER-
NATIONAL FLIGHT PLAN
This change removes existing instructions allowing
alternate use of NAV/ to indicate Area Navigation
(RNAV) capability to resolve incompatibility with
required navigation performance (RNP) routing.
Adds instructions for RNP Standard Instrument
Departures (SIDs) and Standard Terminal Arrival
Routes (STARs), which are being added to the NAS
(for example, see the KSNA STAYY SID). Removes
the legacy use of NAV/ for RNAV capability to avoid
the NAV/ information overriding RNP capability
filed in PBN/. Because ICAO guidance is moving
towards use of standardized, unambiguous codes M1
and M2 for the two variations of RNP 2, the
information relating to Australia’s practice is
removed from the table.
