In this free IFR ground school lesson from Part Time Pilot we cover the basics of executing an approach procedure. We cover determining your aircraft approach category and landing minimums, the decision altitude for precision approaches and how that differs from an MDA of non-precision approaches, and we talk about specific procedures such as straight-in approaches, circling approaches, step-down fixes and sidestep approaches.
