JO 7110.65 2-5-3

Describe fixes determined by reference to a radial/localizer/azimuth and distance from a VOR‐DME/VORTAC/TACAN/ILS‐DME as follows:

When a fix is not named, state the name of the NAVAID followed by a specified radial/localizer/azimuth, and state the distance in miles followed by the phrase “mile fix.” EXAMPLE-

“Appleton Zero Five Zero radial Three Seven mile fix.” “Reno localizer back course Four mile fix.”

When a fix is charted on a SID, STAR, en route chart, or approach plate, state the name of the fix.

Use specific terms to describe a fix. Do not use expressions such as “passing Victor Twelve” or “passing J Eleven.”
