What are the nonradar vertical limits for JAN APCH?

• A. 5,000 and below
• B. 3,000 and below
• C. 7,000 and below
• D. 6,500 and below

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of nonradar vertical limits on an approach—the highest altitude at which you can fly the procedure without radar assistance. For the JAN APCH, the published nonradar ceiling is five thousand feet. That means you must stay at or below five thousand feet while you’re executing the nonradar portion, using the published altitudes and fixes to navigate, since ATC won’t be providing radar vectors. If you’re above that limit, the nonradar portion no longer applies and radar guidance or vectors would be required. The other altitude options don’t match the charted nonradar ceiling, which is why the five-thousand-feet limit is the correct choice.
