Question: What is the significance of the Final Approach Fix (FAF) on an ILS approach plate?
Answer options: ✅ It is the point at which the final approach segment begins, and final descent to the Decision Altitude (DA) can commence.
- It marks the start of the missed approach procedure.
- It is the point where the glideslope intercept typically occurs.
- It signifies the outermost limit of the localizer signal.
Correct answer: It is the point at which the final approach segment begins, and final descent to the Decision Altitude (DA) can commence.
