A while back on the old board, the question was raised about the naming of approach procedures and the significance of letters following the navaid in procedure titles (i.e. VOR-A, ILS-Y). I searched long and hard for the answers, but found nothing specific. Also, I don't recall any valid answers being posted.
In the November Pro Pilot, I came across a Q&A that addresses the question. The ILS Y Rwy 19 plate at KVPS is shown, and the following question (among others) is printed:
"The 'Y' in the procedure identification signifies_____
a. this is a military approach
b. FMS-equipped aircraft can execute this approach
c. there are at least 2 ILS approaches to Runway 19
d. all of the above
anyone want to take a stab at the answer with an explanation before I post it? No peeking at the mag!
