Re: Procedure Turns in Localizer Approaches
That little arrow, together with the 343 notation and the shading in half of the ILS “alley” (as you call it) indicates there is a localiser backcourse on at 343 degrees. I don’t think the arrow itself is meaningful alone. See: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/aer...

Re: Procedure Turns in Localizer Approaches
You are right, you can get to WEVBE by flying as depicted from PAE on the 338 PAE radial outbound. That is a feeder route (or approach transition) and techinally isn’t part of the approach itself as PAE isn’t an IAF (as WEVBE is). But it is a great way for ATC to get you to the IAF and allow you to ...

Re: Procedure Turns in Localizer Approaches
Well you COULD do it that way too..... just seems to me that since you are already on the 343 outbound course, the simpler entry is the parallel.

Re: Procedure Turns in Localizer Approaches
Mike, I believe you can use any method you like to enter a hold—-if I’m not mistaken, the FAA doesn’t mandate any particular way, although the holds as depicted on charts are based on protected airspace in the overall system and assume you will enter a hold following one of the three recommended ent...

Re: CIRCLING
I am going to ask that we bring this thread to a close.
Peter—-if you would like to take up your questions on this topic, or others such as this, I would suggest you put in a request for training and a member of the training staff can pick it up with you.

Re: KPDX v KSEA
I love that 270 left turn over SEA/BFI to get an aircraft going east on course. I’ve used that technique in other circumstances running north ops as well—-e.g. a piston or turboprop heading to NORMY or ZADON with a line of other departures behind and possibly some inbounds on the downwind descending...

Re: CIRCLING
A tangential point on this exchange...... assuming I understood it right from a magazine article I read once on TERPS and how the enroute system integrates with the approach system. If you instruct an IFR aircraft “cleared direct” to a fix, you are taking responsibility for terrain and obstruction a...

Bird strike at KSEA and return
Nice little video in link below of a recent bird strike on departure with vectoring and re-sequencing for return to KSEA. Unfortunately didn’t get all the radio transmissions, but you can pick up a lot from this. Excellent resource for S46 TRACON controllers (especially on use of speed control on fi...

Re: FLYING ON INSTRUMENTS
One more addition for US requirements for circling approaches......executing a missed approach is not a matter of judgment only (or being “comfortable”). You can, of course, execute a missed approach at any time if you believe it is necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft and conduct of the...

Re: PILOTS ARE WELCOME
Peter, the enthusiasm to provide ATC service is absolutely appreciated. Just keep in mind SOP-010 on Events, particularly the need to consult the CIC before opening or closing a position so the CIC can coordinate the overall ATC situation for the event.

Re: KPDX v KSEA
I would only add that I also thought it was odd to give the "RNAV to [ initial fix ]" when the initial fix was the same for all runways. Yet, my reading of the 5-8-2 is that you give the instruction nonetheless. The reason why can be found by a close reading of the PDF of the release (linked in my o...

Re: SAMPLE COMMUNICATIONS
Peter, That is actually a common technique. Even in visual conditions, pilots will have the ILS dialled in to assist them in maintaining the appropriate course/heading for the final approach. Whether told to expect the ILS or a visual approach, it is pretty standard that a pilot be given an instruct...

Re: KPDX v KSEA
The use of "RNAV to PEGTY/RIVVR" in the takeoff clearance is consistent with 7110.65 5-8-2, which deals with issuing an initial heading. This is from 5-8-2 (c): "When conducting simultaneous parallel runway departures utilizing RNAV SIDs, advise aircraft of the initial fix/waypoint on the RNAV route...
