Final Approach Fix

A fix and/or waypoint located on the final approach course of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) prior to the point of glide path (GP) intercept on a precision approach procedure or prior to the final approach fix (FAF) on a non-precision approach procedure that has a designated FAF.

That part of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) from the time that the aircraft, completes the last procedure turn or base turn, where one is specified, intercepts the last track specified for the procedure, crosses the final approach fix (FAF) or crosses the point where the vertical path or glide path intercepts the intermediate approach segment altitude.

That part of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) between the intermediate approach fix (IF) or waypoint and the final approach fix (FAF), waypoint or point, or between the end of a track reversal, racetrack or dead-reckoning track procedure and the FAF, waypoint or point, as appropriate. It is in this part of the procedure that aircraft configuration, speed and positioning adjustments are made for entry into the final approach segment.
