What is the Decision Altitude (DA) for the ILS RWY 31 approach at FFC?

The Decision Altitude (DA) for the ILS RWY 31 approach at FFC is 1081 feet MSL. This altitude is crucial for pilots as it indicates the height at which they must decide whether to continue the approach or execute a missed approach.

For an ILS approach, the DA is based on factors including the minimum visibility and the decision-making process for transitioning from instrument reference to visual reference for the runway. When flying an ILS approach, reaching this altitude means that the pilot should either have the runway in sight to land or be ready to go around if visual conditions are not met.

The correct altitude, in this case, plays a significant role in ensuring a safe approach and landing, as well as compliance with air traffic control and regulations. Understanding this helps pilots maintain situational awareness and ensure they are prepared for handling different scenarios during an approach.
