Which chart element identifies the distance from the FAF to the MAP and provides the time to transit that distance based on various groundspeeds?

• A. Time And Speed Table
• B. Timed Turn
• C. TIS
• D. Title 14 CFR

Answer: (A)

The chart element being tested is the Time and Speed Table. This feature on an approach plate shows the distance from the final approach fix (FAF) to the missed approach point (MAP) and gives the time required to cover that distance for different groundspeeds. It lets you quickly estimate how long you’ll be on the final approach and plan timing for descent or for initiating the missed approach if you need to. Since distances are in nautical miles and speeds in knots, time to MAP is given in minutes, and you can also calculate it with time = distance / groundspeed for a quick check. The other options don’t provide this combined distance-to-MAP and time-to-traverse information: a timed turn is a procedure element, TIS is traffic information, and Title 14 CFR is regulatory text.
