Question. at 4:25 it is defining MSA. it says when coming from East we can descend down to 2600. i think it's wrong? shouldn't it be when coming from East, my heading will be 270° , so my MSA then is 3700' and not 2600' ? please explain. thanks
Actually the explanation about the chart index number is inaccurate. First 1 is for the airfield number in the same city and is allocated arbitrarily, second 1 is for ILS and if it was 3, would have been VOR procedure, 6 NDB and so on (usually higher numbers means less precision). The -1 is for the runway and if there are 2 or 3 or many identical procedure for the same runway they add A, B after they let one procedure without a letter. Example: Let's say that in Bucharest are 2 aeroports and we decided to land at the second one, on runway 25 wich has 2 ILS procedures. The index numbers for each chart will be 21-1 and 21-1A.

That's correct. It should have said "when approaching from the WEST".
Thanks for the observation.
On point and precise 👌🏿. Thanks
Why is MSA circle in Magenta?

So, I can’t make sure if there is a new amendment unless I check the website, right ？
That’s correct. You can not know the validity of the chart just by looking at the printed date.
@@techtipsa3203 thank you so much!
In minima of VVDL for example, the full ILS for all categories (ABCD) is 530' - 1900m. What is that mean. That's not similar to yours in the video
Thank you. It was helpful.
