Hello all,

I just wanted to ask the meaning of CD068, FD068 and MD068. 068 is the course but i cannot find any info about CD,FD and MD.

Also, at the VOR A 25R chart, I saw FS250. Can you share their meaning? Thanks!

They are database identifiers for waypoints that aren't named.

  • MX### and MD### waypoints are missed approach waypoints
  • FD### waypoints are final approach fixes
  • CD### waypoints occur further out on the approach; I believe that the "C" stands for "course", as in a waypoint that defines part of the approach course.
  • FS### waypoint seems to be an FAF for, specifically, a VOR approach, and is designated when there are multiple approaches that would otherwise use duplicate identifiers.

More info on pages 8 & 9 at the link that DeepSpace posted.

According to Jeppesen's "NAME CONVENTIONS WAYPOINT IDENTIFIERS", in a VOR approach the CD, FD and MD points are FACF (Final Approach Course Fix), FAF (Final Approach Fix) and MAP (missed approach fix) respectively.
