Plain English Meaning

It is the name printed at the top of an approach chart. It tells you this is an ILS approach that lines you up with Runway 28 at Silver Springs Airport. You use this title to make sure you have the right chart and the right procedure loaded.

Full Definition

The published title of a specific instrument approach procedure: an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach to Runway 28 at Silver Springs Airport. The title format on an approach chart names the type of approach, the runway it serves, and (when needed for clarity) the airport. The pilot uses this exact title to identify, brief, and load the correct procedure.

Context Anchor

Seen at the top of an instrument approach chart, usually before the pilot or flies the approach.
