Final Approach Fix (FAF) MUST WATCH video!! Biggest Misconception Explained - [All You Need To know]

- The Final Approach Fix (FAF) is the fix where the Final Approach Segment of a Non-Precision Approach starts.
The Approach Procedure has three segments: The Initial Approach Segment, Intermediate Approach Segment, and the Final Approach Segment.
In order to fly correctly a Non-Precision Approach, it is very important to identify where the FAF is.
You have to make sure that you overfly the Final Approach Fix at the right Altitude and established laterally.
The FAF is indicated in the Approach Charts by a Maltese Cross.
Normally, its position is identified by a dme distance from a ground station or a ground aid station.
The biggest misconception about the Final Approach Fix is that many pilots think the FAF applies to ILSs approaches as well.
This is so because you can find the Faf depicted on the ILS LOC chart, however, the Final Approach Fix is on the ILS LOC charts because it applies to the Localizer procedure only.
If you look at a CATII/III chart you will notice that there is no FAF because there is no Non-Precision Approach.
If you are interested to see how I identify the Final Approach Fix on a Vor approach and how I fly the procedure you can watch the TH-cam video below:

Let me know in the comment below if you have any questions!!! Happy Landigs...
For ILS approaches Final Approach Segment starts when stablished in LOC and GS and that point is called Final Approach Point (FAP) instead of Final Approach Fix (FIX). It is a Point and not a Fix because it position varies due to weather conditions even if it is intercepted always at the same indicated altitude
Hey, thanks for watching and the comment.
Great video mate, thanks for recording in english so the whole world can have access to the information, appreciate it!
You are very welcome!! Thanks for watching!!
I’ve been flying for years…….and I ve just learnt this !
We are all always learning! Many thanks for watching!
Hard to understand, but GREAT info. Thank you, thank you!!
Hey, Many thanks for watching!! I'm glad you liked the video!! I wish you a great day!!
Thank you for answering my question about the FAF 🇧🇷👨✈️
You are very welcome!
Excellent video, great explanation. Thanks, gracias!
You are very welcome!
FAA in US *does* define a FAF for a precision approach (ILS).
From the FAA definition,:
FINAL APPROACH FIX- ... It is designated on Government charts by the Maltese Cross symbol for nonprecision approaches *** and the lightning bolt symbol, designating the PFAF, for precision approaches***
www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/pcg_html/glossary-f.html#:~:text=FINAL%20APPROACH%20FIX%2D%20The%20fix,of%20the%20final%20approach%20segment.
Thanks for your feedback, in fact that is the PFAF..
Thank you dude
You are welcome
Very nice. Clear and concise examples for the difference between ILS and Localizer approaches.
Many thanks for watching and the kind comment!! Have a great day
Thank you Gabriel and so much appreciated for these videos. Please keep up the good work and for making this valuable resources available to everyone as well! Have a good one pal!!!
You are very welcome!! My pleasure!! Soon I'll start making new videos

You are more than welcome!! I'm glad you liked the video...
Thank you
You are very welcome
Good video
Thanks for watching!
Great video and explanation! Appreciate it.
Thanks for your support!
A precision approach's final approach fix is defined by the charting authority; how it is symbolised is shown in the charts' Legend.
Does ICAO define or depict the FAF for precision approaches? In the US the FAA says "It is designated.....by the.....lightning bolt symbol, designated the PFAF, for precision approaches....." Jeppesen says about the same thing--depicting it with the upper end of the pennant.
Hello! Thanks for the video! Can you explain about GRID MORA, MORA, MEA, MOCA ?
You are welcome!! I'll take your suggestion under consideration for a future video! I wish you a great day
@@PILOTCLIMB thanks, Gabriele! Good night! All the best!
Very informative video and really helped clear this up, thank you so much!
You are very welcome!
Please, let me know about the Shadow Area, either left or right side of the approach to a runway. Why this Shadow Area/Black Area is there on the left or right side of an approach center line
Most probably I'll make a video about that in the future
Great videos as always. Could you please help me with this chart, the ILS O CAT II RWY 09L (SBGR) has the maltese cross, but it's not a LOC procedure. I'm from Brazil. Thank You.
Excellent Video. Thanks. Good explaination.
I'm glad you liked the video!! Thanks for watching and the comment!!
V nice
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the perfect explanation
You are very welcome

You are very welcome!
thank you captain .
I hope the Video was useful for you. Have a great day!
Great explanation
Thanks for your support
Hello New subscriber here from RPLL
Welcome on board
Cam you explain the three phases of Approach segment while being vectored to intercept the LLZ for ILS App
Many thanks for your comment!! I'll take your suggestion into consideration for a future video 👍
Informative
You are the best ,yo help us so much! God bless you
Many thanks for your great support! You are very welcome
thank you capt
You are very welcome!
Hi captain,
Can you explain why on the 2 VOR approach charts (at 2:12), there is a Decision Altitude ? I thought a DA was only given for Precision Approaches, whereas VOR approches are Non Precision Approaches (there should be a MDA instead...?) thank you for your answer !
Hey, thanks for watching! You have a DA on a Npa when you are required to fly it using the CDFA technique. 👍
Thank you I understand It now. And where do you do the landing checklist? Before or after the faf?
Hey, I hope you are doing well!!
I'm happy to see the video helped you!!
When to perform the landing checklist depends on the Airplane type and Company procedure.
However You as a pilot decide when to accomplish the Landing checklist.
The advise I can give to you is, try not to overload yourself, if the faf is in short final try to accomplish the landing checklist before.
Otherwise do the checklist after. It really depends on the faf location and on your discretion!
I hope my answer helped you!!
Don't hesitate to ask me any question you might have when watching the videos!!
I wish you a great day!

Pilotclimb
how can i identify a FAF IF an approach chart doesn’t specify? is there any formula? example VOR approach
The FAF should be in the chart...
thnk u
You are very welcome!
If we are too low on the 3 degree glide slope , how to re establish on the glide slope ? Or is it better to GA ?
Hey, thanks for watching!! Check the video I will upload today, I will discuss this topic as well.
Captain
There is FAF and we have also FAP
CAN YOU explain the deference between them
Cz i thinked that precision approach have FAP
and non_precision approach have FAF
Thanks
Yes, the FAF is the point on a Non precision Approach where the final descend starts and, the FAP is the point along the LOC of an ILS (or precision Approach) that identifies the commencement of the final approach segment.
@@PILOTCLIMB thanks
Hi I am from china ,if you find any airport chart of China , all the ILS APPROACH charts are having the FAF symbol.it’s different.
Nice to see you are watching from China, I'm not familiar with the ILS chart in China
Thank you captain! I'm a new guy of instrument flying. And I'm just confused about presicion approach (ILS…) and approach with vertical guidance (LPV…) . We use DA for these approaches, so is that the same principle to decide where to decent on the final approach phase?
Hey, I hope you are doing great! Many thanks for watching the video.
The Final Approach Phase of a LPV approach starts at the Final Approach Fix, so it is important to identify where is it located.
In the case of the ILS approach, you have a platform altitude that ends when you intercept the Glide Slope.
Let me know if I answered your question...
Have a great day
Gabriele
@@PILOTCLIMB Thanks a lot, I understand now.
What is the FAF FOR ILS DME RW33 in?pick any airport u like It's ok
Hey, thanks for watching.
The ILS approach is a precision approach and doesn't have a FAF, the FAF you see on the ILS charts are applicable to the Localizsr Procedure, which is on the same chart.
Let me know if I have answered your question.
Have a great day
Gabriele
Thx 🙏🏻
@@salmanalkhanani you are welcome!!
When do I see the rpm 5500
Hey, could you elaborate more on that??
👍
Thats not fully true: take a look at airport Parma in Italy LIMP jeppesen procedure, you can find an ILS 20 (ILS procedure ONLY) with the “cross” FAF anyway on the chart
