So I'm sitting in a hotel in the middle of cross country time building at ATP. I just got a call from my fiance who is a FA at United and just got back from Osaka. (She's also a PSEL Instrument pilot.)
Apparently one of the FO's challenged her to ask a "smarter question" when she about when a bunkie is needed.
She asked him what a Fan Marker is, and while he had heard the term he didn't know what it was and she couldn't explain it well enough to end the debate.
So now I'm trying to find her proof, can y'all help me find:
a) a good explaination of what one is (I've read a discription which makes it sound like all marker beacons are fan markers)
b) a list of some approaches with one in the approach
Thanks!!
