a contact approach "is not intended for use by a pilot on an IFR flight clearance to operate to an airport not having a published and functioning IAP (instrument approach procedure).
SNEAK IN THE SIDE DOOR
The Air Force Accident Investigation Board concluded that the 86th Wing failed for a variety of reasons, including failure of command to comply with governing directives from higher headquarters, aircrew errors, and improperly designed instrument approach procedures (Report 1996, 71).
Cross Pressures of Accountability: Initiative, Command, and Failure in the Ron Brown Plane Crash(*)
(1) Part 97 of this chapter prescribes a standard instrument approach procedure to, or a special instrument approach procedure has been issued by the Administrator to the operator for, the first airport of intended landing; and
PLANNING VERSUS FLYING
For example, the mandatory tasks on an IPC include holding procedures, recovery from unusual attitudes and instrument approach procedures, including precision, non-precision, missed and circling approaches, plus a partial-panel approach.
IPC scenarios: the FAA's new airman certification standards require applying risk management principles to the instrument proficiency check
To facilitate validating database currency, the FAA has developed procedures for publishing the amendment date that instrument approach procedures were last revised.
A date with AIRAC
True or False: A contact approach requires a published and operating instrument approach procedure for the destination.
The quiz
The question of what constitutes flying a "loggable" instrument approach procedure (IAP) often comes up during both hangar-flying sessions and check rides.
Logging approaches: recent FAA guidance clarifies when you can log an approach in IMC for practical tests and proficiency
Circling an airport after an instrument approach procedure (IAP) to land on a runway other than the one aligned with the IAP is something all instrument-rated pilots have practiced.
Tight circle: when circling to land, it's important to remember stalling speed increases with bank angle
It's now unmistakable that pilots are expected to adhere to their last assigned altitude until becoming established on a published portion of the instrument approach procedure.
Hard lessons: many rules we fly by resulted from lessons learned the hard way
While the AIM is not regulatory, a pilot must still comply with [section] 91.175, which states that a pilot cannot land if "the flight visibility is less than the visibility prescribed in the standard instrument approach procedure being used." ([section] 91.175(d)(2)) RVR is not a flight visibility.
When 3/8 mile = 1/2 mile
When filing an IFR flight plan, the language of FAR 91.169 makes listing an alternate airport the default: You have to name one unless the circumstances of the flight are such that it falls under both of the two listed exceptions: First, the airport must have a published instrument approach procedure. Second, the forecast weather meets the 1-2-3 rule: For an hour before to an hour after the ETA at your destination, the weather is forecast to be equal to or better than a 2000-foot ceiling with three statute miles' visibility.
Filing an alternate is required...unless..
First is a reminder from the FAA that so-called "advisory vertical guidance"--essentially an artificial glideslope generated by the avionics where no published/approved glide path exists for an instrument approach procedure (IAP)--are not charted.
