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) is complex due to varied traffic and multiple feeder routes, requiring careful adherence to specific conditions and altitudes.
- Pilots must pay critical attention to DME usage, ensuring they are tuned to the ILS frequency for step-downs, and note that sidestep minimums to Runway 10 Left are significantly higher than for Runway 10 Right.
- The Missed Approach Point (MAP) is at 1.8 DME, not 0.0, and the missed approach procedure is intricate, involving multiple course changes and a hold at the BOI VOR.
- Circling-to-land minimums include a crucial restriction to remain south of Runway 10 Left-28 Right due to higher terrain.
