ncimike3 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I noticed on the airport schematics that there are triangles to aid in approaches to the airport. I'm kinda confused as to where to get the coordinates for these triangles. For example in the attached pic I've highlighted / circled one of approach triangles. Which coordinates listed on the diagram page apply to this approach triangle. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. null Edited October 24, 2022 by ncimike3 EVGA X58 FTW3 | i7-960 3.2GHz | 6Gb DDR3 1600Mhz | GTX 680 4Gb | Win 7 64 |TM HOTAS Warthog | Combat Rudder Pedals | TrackIR 5 | TM MFD Cougar set | Logithech G35 Headset
Solution WhiskyDelta Posted October 24, 2022 Solution Posted October 24, 2022 These triangles are Compulsory Reporting Points (CRP) and, as the name implies, have to be reported upon passing. They have to be overflown during the visual arrival, unless otherwise instructed by ATC or requested by the pilot. The respective coordinates are published in the VAD Flip.Just for further information, these CRP are located at or close to prominent landmarks, to facilitate the determination of position.In real life these information are publicly available. I.e. Nordholz ETMN.Edit: Just read the post again, the coordinates for the highlighted Initial RWY07 are not listed in the picture. 1

Or listen to ATC - they'll tell you "Fly heading xxx for yy nm (to 5 nm initial), runway 07 (imagine the geometry for the turn)".
