Helicopter (Copter) Procedures
Copter procedures may contain either a visual or a VFR segment. Visual segments are depicted using the dashed line symbol below.
Visual Flight Segment
Visual Flight Segment symbol — dashed line with arrow — source page 114.
VFR Segments are not depicted with a line, but include the reference bearing and distance information at the endpoint of the VFR Segment, when provided, as shown below.
Example of Copter with VFR Segment (JFK)

MISSED APPROACH INFORMATION
Missed approach information is shown in 3 locations on the chart:
The Middle Briefing Strip - The complete textual missed approach instructions are provided at the top of the approach chart in the middle pilot briefing strip.
The Planview - The missed approach track is drawn using a thin, hash marked line with a directional arrow. If any portion of the missed approach procedure track is off the chart, the missed approach track shall extend to the chart border.
Missed-approach track symbol — dashed planview line and arrow — source page 115.
Missed-approach-fix and alternate-missed-approach-fix insets — COATT / Hopewell (HPW) — source page 115.
The Profile Box
Missed Approach Icons will be depicted in the upper left or upper right of the profile box. The Missed Approach Icons are intended to provide quick, at a glance intuitive guidance to the pilot, to supplement the textual missed approach instructions in the briefing strip. Space permitting, all textual missed approach instructions will be graphically depicted in sequence. If space does not permit the depiction of all missed approach icons, only the first four icon boxes will be shown.
