RNAV Appr Vectoring
Posted: Thu May 24, 2018 7:38 pm
OK. So I'm curious about vectoring into an RNAV Approach.
Usually, ok always, I get vectored to either the IAF or the IF of an RNAV. Then usually follows up with you are cleared direct and maintain ___ altitude until you've reached what ever waypoint, and then cleared the approach.
So my question is can ATC vector you in between the IF and the FAF like it was an ILS approach? So they place you on a heading and then just say your cleared the approach. So then you would make the turn towards the FAF and hit APP on the AP to capture any vertical aid. I'm curious if this ever happens...to be vectored like this? Or do you always have to be vectored to the IF or IAF...
