KCCR LDA RWY 19R Required Equipment
Asked by: AviatorTrevor88 2747 views Instrument Rating
In the KCCR LDA RWY 19R IAP Planview it states "ADF or DME or RADAR Required." As I understand it, this means you would need 1 of those 3 forms of equipment to transition from the enroute environment to an IAF. Obviously, Radar is available here 24/7 unless it goes down, and you can use that to get vectors to the approach. But I can't understand why DME is listed here. I see that KANAN NDB is an IAF, so if I were to use that IAF I understand why I would need an ADF, but the other IAFs, which lie on V6, don't appear to require DME to identify or fly.
I need DME to identify the MAP, but only if I'm not timing the approach, but that DME requirement has to be listed in the notes section (which it is). But should a DME requirement be listed in the notes section if the MAP can be identified using time??? And the missed approach can be flown without reference to DME???
TL;DR: explain the DME requirement in both the planview and notes section.
