Festive Chart-Spotting: PUDYE TTATT?
18 Dec 2025
Did you see it?
Cleared for the RNAV (GPS) approach to Portsmouth (MA) Runway 16 — what do you think your approach course will be?
Chart-spotting for the festive season
Have a quick look at the plate and trace the sequence of fixes.
If you’re paying attention, you might get a grin when you see it:
PUDYE… TTATT.
And if you don’t see PUDYE and TTATT?
You’ll be going around — although (ironically) the missed approach waypoint is IDEED.
