I undertook some recurrent flight training at KFDK two years ago. It's an extremely busy airport and the tower (a "contract tower") has no radar. I will never go back (unless the FAA gets its act together and installs a radar there).
Aha! I caught a mistake. The lightening doesn’t identify the FAF, it identifies the glide slope intercept. The FAF is identified by the Maltese cross! You just failed your check ride!
Excellent presentation. Thanks
How about approach that has higher LPV minimum than a LNAV/VNAV?

Weren’t the non precision minimums still higher even in the example you showed? 1080 vs 700? Or did you mean the vis minimums?
Yeah I was scratching my head too, I think visibility not DA
Ive seen an RNAV have lower mins than an ILS.
Saw an approach like this a couple days ago and remarked to my passenger, “this is something for that FlightInsight guy”
Doesn't make sense. The minimums are still higher on the non precision approach in this example

no the maltese cross identifies the Faf for the non precision approach, glide slope intercept is the faf for the precision approach.
Hey can you reduce the upspeak in videos, it will be much easier and professional to follow.
