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:
- If a pilot lacks current approach plates, they must immediately inform ATC, who can then provide critical approach details like frequencies, courses, and minimum altitudes.
- ATC can assist with various approach types, including ILS, RNAV (with an approved navigator), and radar vectors for ASR/PAR procedures.
- Although ATC can significantly aid pilots in these situations, relying on them for basic chart information indicates a failure in pilot preparation, as current charts are easily accessible.
