Superscript Numbers on Non Standard Alternate Approach Minimums (TPP)

Asked by: 1715 views , , , ,

What do the superscript numbers mean on non-standard alternate airport minimums in the TPP?

For example, Laredo International has a bunch of approaches listed, and for each one in bold, there is a small superscript number at the end. What do those numbers mean?

    They relate to the 5 notes below the various approaches. The notes are for non standard minimums or requirements that must be satisfied for the procedure to be usable as a filed alternate.

    They are simply footnotes (or endnotes) but are being placed at the end of the entry instead of the end of the full page of entries,
