x-mile base

[MJ]

The most recent .65 revision finally added some clarity to the long ambiguous instruction of "enter x-mile base". It's buried in a note in the PCG, but progress I suppose. Now, who's gonna tell all the pilots 😑

ATC may instruct a pilot to report a “2−mile left base” to Runway 22. This instruction means that the pilot is expected to maneuver their aircraft into a left base leg that will intercept a straight−in final 2 miles from the approach end of Runway 22 and advise ATC.

I like non ambiguous commonly used terms. Good job FAA.
