No Charts? No Problem…
The ease with which we can carry current charts in an EFB app means theres usually no good reason we dont have approach plates aboard. But stuff can happen. Youll need a little more help from ATC.
Key Takeaways:
- Pilots should always carry current approach plates via EFB apps, but if unavailable, they must inform ATC to receive necessary landing guidance.
- ATC can provide critical information for various approaches, including frequencies, courses, and minimum altitudes for ILS/VOR procedures, and FAF/minimum altitudes for RNAV/GPS (requiring an approved navigator).
- While ATC can also guide pilots via radar procedures (ASR/PAR), needing such extensive assistance due to missing plates signifies a significant pilot error.
