Interpretation
TACAN equipped aircraft must attempt contact with Beaufort Tower if no transmissions are received for one minute in the pattern or 5/15 seconds on final approach. If unsuccessful, climb to 2400 feet, proceed to FEPIM, and execute TACAN RWY 23 approach. RNAV/GPS equipped aircraft must follow the same initial protocol and then proceed to HOWEL for RNAV/GPS RWY 23 approach.
