September 2011, there are LDA approaches which have straight-in minima published despite the localizer being offset more than 30 degrees: e.g., "LDA/DME RWY 19" and "ROSSLYN LDA RWY 19" approaches to Runway 19 at DCA have 145 and 147 degrees respectively on their final approach course to the airport. <a href="#fnref:2" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:3"><p>This count reflects only clearly distinct approaches, i.e. if multiple LDA approach procedures to the same runway are available (all of which use the same localizer) they are counted as one. For instance, KSFO has "LDA/DME RWY 28R" and "LDA PRM RWY 28R (SIMULTANEOUS CLOSE PARALLEL)" approaches, which are essentially two different versions of the same approach, the latter one developed specifically for use in simultaneous parallel approaches to runways 28R (using LDA) and 28L (using ILS or RNAV). On the other hand, KDCA has two different LDA approaches to runway 19, which use different localizers, so they are both counted individually. <a href="#fnref:3" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:4"><p>"Digital – Terminal Procedures Publication (d-TPP)/Airport Diagrams".
