Approach plates are used to describe the procedures or charts that pilot’s use on approaches during IFR flights. Formally known as Instrument Approach Procedures, they conform to ICAO standards with each country having their own Instrument Approach Procedures.

Approach plates are needed for a pilot to make a safe landing during IMC conditions, such as reduced visibility, low ceilings, fog, rain or snow. The document provides pilots with specific waypoints and targeted altitudes to line up the aircraft with any specific runway for landing.
