The Final approach Fix is published on the instrument approach plate. On most charts it is represented with something like this on the vertical profile:

Thank you for your kind instruction.Although I have found it on the charts, where can I get the instrument approach plate from?Sincerely,Kan-ichiro Fushihara

The US charts can be found at AirNav.com, MyAirplane.com or Echoplate.UK charts are best found at the NATS-AIS site.For other countries, see the VATSIM Chart Center: http://usa-w.vatsim.net/charts/

Thank you very much for your kindness.I understand it's peculiar to the airport (runway).Sincerely,Kan-ichiro Fushihara

As you say, Fushi, the FAF is specific... often to the procedure for a runway. The same runway can have different procedures (ILS, RNAV, VOR/DME, NDB and so on) and the FAF can differ for each procedure.In all cases, you would need the respective approach plate. A search on the Internet will help to find many. The most difficult charts to find in my opinion are the en route airway charts in general.Andrew

Thanks Andrew.Sincerely,Kan-ichiro Fushihara
