This includes beginning with a descent from a route Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA) or Lowest Safe Altitude (LSALT) in accordance with any altitude restrictions; intercepting track on the Localizer (LLZ) using locating/marker beacons or Distance Measuring Equipment (DME/GPS); fixing a position on the LLZ track; descending by reference to the Glideslope (GS) to the Decision Altitude (DA); landing or conducting a published missed approach. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
