Precision Final Approach Fix | Glideslope Intercept
Do you ever wonder why there are two altitudes printed at the final approach fix on a precision approach like an ILS? They're usually the same altitude, but sometimes, they're different. Here is the background on what those altitudes mean.

I got this exact question on my checkride. When he asked about the little number on top, it was the only one that I had to flat-out say I didn’t know the answer. It was near the end of the oral portion which was going really well so I think the DPE gave me the benefit of the doubt and told me the importance of it. It’s the last chance to verify your altimeter is set accurately on the approach.
Thank you Dan. You are making self learning instrument ground a lot fun.
Do you guys have plans to make an app for study courses?

I already said that…..where’s the App Dan😅.
Interesting; well explained; thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks
Hat tip to the choice of ILS Approach. My home airport is KROW - That was cool to see in your video
Once I complete my Australian instrument (waiting on some medical stuff), I plan on converting and getting it added to my FAA foreign private certificate. This one is very different. Lower number in Australia is non-precision localiser MDA, top number is ILS precision DA. Guess having no outer markers free's that up.
