, FIX TOLERANCE OVERHEADING A STATION
Facility VOR NDB DME
Cone 50° 40°
Fix +/- 5° Entry +/- 15°, within the 0.25 NM + 0.0125
tolerance cone +/- 5° distance


FIX TOLERANCE WITHIN INITIAL/INTERMEDIATE APP FIX
≤ 2NM, if FAF is VOR, NDB, VOR/DME.
Fix tolerance ≤ 0.25x Segment length.
Terminal area surveillance radar, within 20 NM, the fix tolerance is +/- 0.8NM.
En-route area surveillance radar, within 40 NM, the fix tolerance is +/- 1.7NM.
