Good luck!

1. 1) Why is the approach named "LOC/DME-E", and not "LOC/DME RWY 15?"
   View FAA Approach Chart

   Only circling minimums are published for this approach. Typically, circling only approaches are designed for one of the following reasons: 1) The final approach course alignment with the runway centerline exceeds 30 degrees. 2) The descent gradient is greater than 400 ft/NM from the FAF to the threshold crossing height (TCH). 3) A runway is not clearly defined on the airfield.

5. 5) You've crossed DOYPE. You're flying a Category A aircraft, and you're flying at 110 knots indicated with a 10 knot headwind. How low can you descend?
   View FAA Approach Chart

   According to the AIM, if it becomes necessary to fly faster than the aircraft's published category, the minimums for the higher category must be used. In this case, you're flying at a Category B speed (91 knots or more, but less than 121 knots)
