FAF Controversy
I asked a question a few weeks ago, but it got a little out of control. I had people telling me that I need to see an instrument refresher, other people arguing back and forth. By the way, nobody answered the question. Unless you want to try and answer the question without acting like a Mr. Know-It-All, don't respond. Thanks.
I'm trying to decide if by intercepting the glideslope at a higher altitude than the "minimum glideslope intercept altitude" (such as 2121' on ILS 6 at KBHM), if that constitutes your new "Final Approach Fix". For example, coming in at 2700' or 2200' and intercepting there. I understand it constitutes the Final Approach Segment, but what about "FIX"? Important to know if you have tower reporting RVR of 600' on a CAT1 approach.
On the Jeppesen approach chart legend, it states that "When ATC directs the lower noted altitude: For precision approaches, the altitude becomes the minimum glide slop intercept altitude and the resultant actual point of glide slop intercept becomes the FAF (USA)"
Thank you in advance!
