5.4.1 Final approach point (FAP)

The final approach segment begins at the final approach point (FAP). This is a point in space on the final approach track where the intermediate approach altitude/height intercepts the nominal glide path/microwave landing system (MLS) elevation angle.

Note: For non-precision approaches, the final segment begins at the FAF Final Approach Fix.
