With approximately one-third of its annual 128,200 operations traffic count consumed by airline operations and the rest split between air taxi, general aviation and military operations, Boise, Idaho (BOI), demands pilots be on their toes for traffic of all shapes and sizes when visiting. This month’s ILS Y 10 Right approach comes equipped with a number of potential step-down fixes along the way to SITSE, the FAF, as well as the potential for a little maneuvering to the landing runway near the end of the approach and a couple of noted items that might trip up a pilot not paying close attention to the plate.
Chart Wise: Boise ILS Y 10R
Key Takeaways:
- Pilots flying the ILS Y 10 Right approach at Boise (BOI) must be alert to diverse traffic and intricate procedural details, including various feeder routes and step-down fixes.
- Attention to navigation is critical, specifically using IBOI DME when on the localizer course for step-downs and understanding that the Missed Approach Point (MAP) is not 0.0 DME for certain minimums.
- Additional complexities include higher minimums for sidestep operations to Runway 10 Left, a mandatory "circle south" restriction due to terrain, and a multi-leg, complex missed approach procedure requiring precise course changes.
