Where do you find Radar Approach Minimums?

Where do you find Radar Approach Minimums?

• A. ForeFlight Airport Page, Procedure Tab, Approach, Radar Minimums
• B. FAA Pilot's Guide
• C. Jeppesen Manual
• D. VFR Sectional Chart

Answer: (A)

Radar approach minimums are the set of minimums that apply when ATC radar services are provided for an approach. They’re shown in modern flight planning tools so you can plan based on whether you’ll have radar monitoring (vectors and radar guidance) during the approach. That’s why the best place to find them is in ForeFlight’s Airport page, under the Procedure tab, then Approach, and look for Radar Minimums. This display specifically flags the minimums that apply when radar service is available, such as DA/MDA and visibility requirements for radar-based approaches. The other sources don’t provide this in the same way. FAA publications and Jeppesen manuals contain official approach data, but not the dedicated “Radar Minimums” view found in ForeFlight. VFR sectional charts won’t include IFR minimums at all.
