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:
- The ILS Y 10 Right approach at Boise (BOI) requires pilots to manage diverse traffic and carefully select from multiple feeder routes, each with specific altitude and validity conditions.
- Pilots must be aware of higher minimums when executing a sidestep maneuver from Runway 10 Right to 10 Left.
- Precise DME management is crucial; step-down fixes rely on ILS DME, and the Missed Approach Point (MAP) for non-ILS landings is at 1.8 DME, not the runway threshold.
- The missed approach procedure is intricate, involving a transition from the inbound course to a specific VOR radial, an intersection, a subsequent turn, and entry into a hold at the BOI VOR.
