- Contexto
- Adjacent facilities that provide intersections should be inspected to determine their capability to support the intersection. Reliable facility performance and course guidance at the approved minimum holding altitude (MHA) should exist. Minimum signal strength should exist for the radial(s) forming the intersection within 7.4 km (4 NM) or 4.5°, whichever is greater, each side of the geographical location of the intersection fix.
