Special instrument approach procedures must be issued to the aircraft operator if pilot training, aircraft

equipment, and/or aircraft performance is different than published procedures. Special instrument approach
procedures are not distributed for general public use. These procedures are issued to an aircraft operator when
the conditions for operations approval are satisfied.

General aviation operators requesting approval for special procedures should contact the local Flight

Standards District Office to obtain a letter of authorization. Air carrier operators requesting approval for use of
special procedures should contact their Certificate Holding District Office for authorization through their
