Title: (Optional) Interpret information on an instrument approach procedures (IAP) chart.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Describing Navigation

Interpretation should include the following:

- The instrument landing system (ILS) is one kind of approach, and on the chart, it is typically labeled with ILS and the runway number (e.g., ILS31).
- The chart is made up of several areas, generally with communications information at the top, a plan (horizontal) view in the middle, a vertical profile below that, and the minimums either below or next to the vertical profile.
- On the horizontal view, one will see several fixes, which can be flown to via the enroute system. Upon arriving at that point, one would begin flying the approach if cleared to do so by ATC.
