Flight procedure
A flight procedure or instrumental flight procedure (IFP) is a set of predetermined maneuvers with specified protection from obstacles designed to achieve safe flight operations and an orderly flow of air traffic. Flight procedures linked to an aerodrome are specified as arrival, departure or approach procedure (usually linked with missed approach procedure).
Different types of instrumental flight procedures can be recognized:
- STAR (Standard Instrumental Arrivals)
- SID (Standard Instrumental Departures)
- IAP (Instrumental Approach Procedure) - supports landing operation, usually starts in range of 10 to 20 NM before the runway threshold
- MA (Missed Approach Procedure) - usually linked do IAP procedure and published on the very same chart
