ASR Approach

[Foxcow]

Does anyone know of an airport that has a published chart for an ASR? I was told by my instructor that there are a few out there.


Thanks

Sorry dont know of any published, but have you ever actually been able to get one? Everytime I ask I get "unable" not because they are to busy, but it seems that no one really knows how to do it. Or atleast the people I allways get.

I got one...asked coming back from a cross country (just after my PPL) and asked if I could get a practice ASR if they had time. Not a problem, got briefed on it by the controller and it was great. He even asked me if it worked out how I imagined when he handed me to tower.

Not really a big deal. "Turn right 10 degrees" "turn right 5 degrees" "5 degrees left of course correcting back" "3 degrees left of course 2 miles from runway correcting to the right"

no biggie.

I fly out of the Fernandina Beach airport (55J) near Jacksonville, FL and do the ASR all the time. I don't think NOS publishes the actual procedure, which is why the controllers always give you the MAP and MDA, but there is a chart put out by Jeppesen.

The JAX Approach controllers seem to have no problem giving the ASR and do it quite often. I did it last week in actual down to minimums and the controller put me right on the centerline. PM me if you have any other questions.

I got one the other day.

Ask for a no gyro asr. The ones that were really kinda fun were the PARs.

Ask for a no gyro asr.

That sounds kinda cool...flew an instrument flight about 3 weeks ago for the syllabus here and asked for no-gyro vectors for one approach...got the "unable" which was fine, but I always thought it would be cool...

Hopefully I'll be doing a late night flight here shortly and can get no-gyro vectors

CAE (Columbia, SC) has an ASR chart published by Jepp.

Try flying a no-gyro ASR/PAR in a formation approach on the WING.


...those are fun





Oh, and then try it from the back seat. Oh joy

Key West has one. It gets used quite frequently when the wx dictates. No ILS available, I think the ASR gets you lower than the NDB A, and not as large a rate of descent needed to get to MDA in a "short" horizontal space.
