Final answer:
If the plan view on an approach chart does not include a procedure turn barb, it means that a procedure turn is not required for that particular approach.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the plan view on an approach chart does not include a procedure turn barb, it means that a procedure turn is not required for that particular approach.
A procedure turn is a maneuver that allows the aircraft to reposition itself onto the final approach course. It is used when the aircraft needs to lose altitude or to align with the final approach course. However, not all approaches require a procedure turn.
When a plan view does not show a procedure turn barb, it indicates that the approach can be flown without executing a procedure turn. Pilots can proceed directly to the initial approach fix (IAF) and follow the published course to the final approach fix (FAF) and beyond.
