RNAV (GPS)-A

Featured Replies

Hi

I am planning my first GPS plight using the GS500 in FSX cessna 172 skyhawk

I plan to fly from 4B6 to KLKP on the New York sectional landing at Runway 32.

I have downloaded the approach plate for both R32 and R14 .  My question is why does R 14 show a TDZE and an MDA but R32 shows neither.

Also R32 has a displacement of 1140 feet and this info is also missing.

Finally what is the significance  of R32 being -A while R14  is called RWY14

Could any kind soul please illuminate me on these anomalies.

Regards

 The "-A" suffix means a circle to land approach.  No straight in landing minimums are offered, hence the lack of runway designation. Skyvector lists charts for  "RNAV (GPS RWY 14)" and "RNAV (GPS) -A"

You will only have circling minimums on the latter approach.  They are higher, but still gives 300ft obstacle clearance.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, Which leads to another Question.

In the procedure page of GS 500 there is no circling approach listed. Do you know why this would be.

Thank you
