What navigation aid helps to identify the FAF in a Non-Precision Approach?

The identification of the Final Approach Fix (FAF) in a Non-Precision Approach is primarily indicated by a visual symbol known as the Maltese cross. This symbol appears on approach charts to denote the point where the final approach segment starts. It is crucial for pilots to recognize the FAF as it signifies the transition from the en route structure to the final approach procedure, where the aircraft will begin its descent towards the runway.

In Non-Precision Approaches, where there is no electronic glide slope guidance or precision lateral guidance, the Maltese Cross serves as a visual reference that assists pilots in managing their descent and aligning the aircraft with the runway. Other options listed, such as glideslope, distance measuring equipment, and localizer, are more related to Precision Approaches. A glideslope provides vertical guidance which is not available in non-precision approaches, while the localizer primarily offers lateral navigation guidance for precision approaches. Distance measuring equipment can be useful, but it does not specifically denote the FAF in non-precision approaches, making the Maltese cross the correct reference for this situation.
