Instrument Flight Procedure Guide

Community airports with Global Positioning System (GPS)-based Instrument Flight Procedures become preferred operating bases for DayJet™ "Per-Seat, On-Demand" service. This type of approach relies on satellite signals, so there's no need to install expensive land-based navigational aids. It also gives smaller airports the ability to continue operations during adverse weather conditions, greatly expanding the number of airports DayJet can utilize across the country.

Specifically, a WAAS/LPV approach will provide the additional accuracy, availability and integrity necessary to enable DayJet to rely on GPS for all phases of flight — including reliable, all-weather landing capabilities. It will also allow for the development of more standardized precision approaches, missed approaches and departure guidance — without requiring any special ground equipment at the airport.

To become an on-ramp to the nation's satellite-based navigation system, every airport must have an Instrument Flight Procedure. The FAA National Flight Procedures Office (NFPO) is responsible for global development and maintenance of both terminal and enroute instrument flight procedures.
