For an ILS 10 precision approach, the DH (Decision Height) is 347 feet MSL. For a LOC 10 non-precision approach, the MDA (Minimum Descent Altitude) is 980 feet MSL. Pattern altitude for VFR traffic is 800 feet MSL. Picture the scenario of a bright, calm wind day where you want to do a practice approach. There are other airplanes in the pattern. What should you do? While you can fly the approach on your own to save time, contact Atlantic City Approach (124.6). Atlantic City’s is another set of eyes to keep you safe and avoid a mid-air collision. Make sure your safety pilot has eyes outside. Listen to the CTAF to determine what runway(s) is/are in use
