VOR chart help

Featured Replies

Don't know where else to post this, so I figured someone here would know. Looking at the VOR RWY 15 into EPWA, in the bottom left is where it shows the MDA. It shows 2 categories, C and D. Now, the part I'm confused about, the box with the MDA has 2 rows. The top row is labeled,

"Ft-m/km" and the row below is "ft". And the numbers given are, "480-1.8" and below that "830". Now I'm assuming the 830 is the MDA. What does the 480-1.8 mean, I can't figure out what the ft-m/km indicates?

Not certain what chart source you're using, but the one I'm looking at (Polish Air Navigation Services Agency) doesn't have the MDA as you're describing. It's showing Cat A/B/C/D and two possible values one for Straight-In and the other for Circling.

1.8 means 1.8km visibility. 830ft is the MDA and 480 is MDH which is the cloud ceiling measured from the ground. Hence 478 (MDH) + 352 (Threshold elevation) = 830 which is the MDA

Yeah I figured that. I checked another chart and it has it as well. But when I look at charts from other sources it's not there. Thanks for helping!
