Amendment status

Amendment status – A crucial piece of information denoting the latest changes, updates or revisions made to an instrument approach procedure. This information is printed above the procedure identification and includes the circulation date, as well as the revision number. It helps pilots and other aviation professionals to ensure they are using the most up-to-date versions of instrument approach procedures when navigating aircraft. The amendment status acts as an important quality control measure, ensuring that safety standards are met and that pilots are able to effectively and safely navigate through challenging instrument conditions. It also serves as a tool for regulatory compliance by demonstrating that appropriate changes have been made and that flight management procedures are current and relevant. Maintaining an accurate amendment status is therefore essential for flight safety and compliance with aviation regulations.
