How to Ensure Obstacle Clearance during IFR Descent
Asked by: htf17 1261 views Instrument Rating
If you’re planning an IFR XC and the destination airport does not have a STAR, how do you ensure obstacle between the last waypoint on the airway and the IAF? Would you have to just stay above the OROCA until you’re on a segment of the approach? Some approaches wouldn’t give you much time to descent from cruising altitude and not all approaches have holding patterns to lose altitude.
