How to Brief a Jeppesen Vor Approach Chart - [Practical Advice From A Boeing Captain].

Today's video is about the VOR approach Chart.

We are going to dive into a VOR approach chart and analyze each point.

It is very important to have a clear structure when briefing an approach chart, especially when you are dealing with a non-precision approach.

The structure that I built up during the last 10+ years flying the B737 is very simple at it will make sure you won't leave any important information behind.

When briefing the approach chart I go left to right, top to bottom.

In the video we are going to talk about the importance of the FAF, we also going to define the difference between a Minimum Descent Altitude and the Decision Altitude, we will see how to read and understand the lateral and the vertical profile of the VOR approach.

Briefing an Approach chart is easy once you know the meaning of each field and have a good briefing structure.

It is important you identify your FAF (Final Approach Fix) on your chart, also, make sure the missed approach procedure is clear to you.

Remember to perform the Altitude checks when performing a Non-Precision approach since you don't have vertical guidance like the ILS has.

Comment below with your questions and thoughts!! Have a great day!

[Adam-hfhn]

What an amazingly helpful video. Explained everything in a clear manner and made us understand how you would fly the approach.

[iGemera]

There is an amount of information I needed to know thanks
I will plan in the aircraft simulator😍👍

[Iigor]

Hello? Can you make a video with NDB approach?)

[sciantisalazar]

Good evening Captain, I just wanted to ask if what is the right bank angle after 12 DME to the IAF?? Thanks

[roynesribpkos]

why is there upward needle on before MAP?

[husseinelmletti]

Great video, looking forward to see the next one 👌
My method is a bit different, I go straight for the weather minimum then I start briefing from the top and leave the missed approach for last.

Excellent presentation. Thanks. At the D5.0 position on the plan view there is a note below the D5.0 that states FD20. What does that mean?

[piyushsingh]

Excellent video, Are there countries which have forbidden/prohibited dive and drive method to fly a Non-precision approach? if so where to find it in jeppesenmanual.

[bedirhan]

There is a visual track after MAP point, can you explain what is the purpose of this ? Thank you

[ihorkohut]

As usually great video! Thanks Sir!
I have a question. During IFR simulator training, my instructor once mentioned one concept which i forget how it is called.
It is related to the case when you have step down descent profile and the weather is marginal and when you have level off, then you keep flying towards RW and there is a distance to the threshold from which you must continue descend in order to keep 3% glideslope. Therefore when the weather is marginal and you don't have visual reference with a RW then there is no sense to fly further since you won't be able to maintain glideslope and you should do go around.
Yeah, my explanation is a little bumpy, but maybe that makes sense for you? What is that distance?

I will definitiv subschribe your channel and a lot of thumb up for your great video

[viktoriaelisabeth]

Good Day Capt, great info video even I can not understand full sentence....just a suggestion maybe you could speak slower so people without english as mother tongue could easier captured/understand what you mean...but anyway thank you and hope you make more such video on youtube...

at the minute 5 You said your radial is 196, I think this is the heading inbound 196 not the radial

[NebuchadnezzarThend]

learn to pronounce H and then i will subscribe ;)
