Note: the TPPs contain approach, departure and arrival procedures. They also prescribe takeoff and alternate minimums. NY state is in region “NE2”.

The “TPP legends only” are just the legends pages, extracted from the TPPs for convenience. Includes: Inoperative components, legends for the instrument plates, approach lighting systems, and ft/NM-fpm conversion table. Students preparing for an instrument rating or an instructor IR should have this legend promptly available.
