CIFP: include /nopt180 when appropriate #42

Open mmp opened 8 months ago

Some procedure turns (e.g. at UDAQI on the KJAX RNAV Z 8 approach) are not to be used for aircraft that intercept the fix from the half-circle 180 degrees in the inbound direction. (vice represents these with /nopt180.) The ARINC-424 parser should detect this (not sure where it is specified) and include it in the Waypoints that it generates.

Primary record for the UDAQI hold-in-lieu does not have a TAA Procedure Turn Indicator (107-111):

SUSAP KJAXK7FR08-Z AUDAQI 010UDAQIK7PC0EE AR   HF                     07640040    + 02000     18000                 A JS   249381310

I tried to search for Airport TAA Primary Records (4.1.31.1) for JAX/UDAQI but can't find a corresponding record. This information may not be available in the CIFP.

Ugh, good to know. It's annoying how much is missing from the CIFP; I had assumed it would be fully comprehensive.

I guess if we want to auto-generate /nopt180 then we need to know what procedures use TAA. Maybe ask AI to do image recognition??
