 +===== The Approach Clearance =====
  
 +
 +Expect to be cleared to a "​holding fix" and then recieve "​cleared....approach."​ This removes the expectation to hold. The aircraft is then expected to begin the approach at the cleared holding fix via IAF or feeder route to IAF.
 +
 +When cleared for the approach, the published feeder routes that lead from the enroute structure to the IAF are part of the approach clearance. (AIM 5-4-6)

 +"​Maintain 2,700 until established,​ cleared ILS Runway 20 approach."​

 +AIM 5-4-11 states...
 +The only airborne radio equipment required for
 +radar approaches is a functioning radio transmitter
 +and receiver.
 +
 +A radar approach may be given to any aircraft
 +upon request and may be offered to pilots of aircraft
 +in distress or to expedite traffic, however, an ASR
 +might  not  be  approved ​ unless ​ there  is  an  ATC
 +operational ​ requirement, ​ or  in  an  unusual ​ or
 +emergency situation.
 +
 +PAR  and  ASR  minimums ​ are  published ​ on
 +separate ​ pages  in  the  FAA  Terminal ​ Procedures
 +Publication (TPP).
 +
 +For our area, ASR approaches are available at BLV, CMI, and SPI. 
 +
 +A PAR approach is available at STJ (St. Josephs, MO) which is an ANG base, class D.
 +
 +==== PAR - Precision Approach Radar ====
 +
 +
 +Both lateral and vertical guidance. Pilots are told when to turn to maintain alignment on the landing runway and when to begin a descent to maintain the glidepath required. Pilots will be advised to fly the missed approach, if needed.
 +
 +==== ASR - Surveillance Approach ====
 +
 +
 +Less accurate radar used, no vertical guidance. Flown like a non-precision approach. Pilots are advised to descent to MDA or stepdown altitude by ATC. Pilots are advised to execute a missed approach at the MAP if needed.
