Why is this so? "090" refers to an approach on an inbound bearing of 090, not an approach to runway 9. This KWAY GPS 090 is a private helicopter-only approach designed for use by emergency medical services helicopters serving KWAY. The approach must be in a GPS database in order for the owners of the approach to legally fly it; however, the approach plate is not published for public use. |
