In Overlay approaches, where is the notation (GNSS) placed?

In overlay approaches, the notation for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is placed after the runway designator. This convention helps distinguish the type of navigation system being used for the approach, which is particularly important for pilots to know when planning and executing approaches. By positioning the GNSS notation after the runway designator, it provides a clear and direct correlation between the runway being approached and the navigation method used.

This notation clarifies that the approach is designed for GNSS navigation, which may involve specific procedures or requirements different from traditional instrument approaches. It aids pilots in quickly identifying the appropriate approach method as they review approach charts, ensuring they are using the correct procedures for their equipment and situational awareness.

Understanding the placement of the notation in the context of overlay approaches helps pilots prepare effectively for landing in a variety of conditions, ensuring that they have the necessary information right at their fingertips while navigating.
