AIM 

6. 

U.S. Government charts depict TAAs using icons located in the plan view outside the depiction of the 

actual approach procedure. (See FIG 5

4

6). Use of icons is necessary to avoid obscuring any portion of the “T” 

procedure (altitudes, courses, minimum altitudes, etc.). The icon for each TAA area will be located and oriented 

on the plan view with respect to the direction of arrival to the approach procedure, and will show all TAA 

minimum altitudes and sector/radius subdivisions. The IAF for each area of the TAA is included on the icon 

where it appears on the approach to help the pilot orient the icon to the approach procedure. The IAF name and 

the distance of the TAA area boundary from the IAF are included on the outside arc of the TAA area icon.
