On a NoPT approach, which maneuver is not permitted?

• A. Procedure Turn
• B. Hold
• C. Climb and Turn
• D. Descend and Turn

Answer: (A)

When an approach is designated NoPT, you are not allowed to perform the procedure turn. The procedure turn is the specific course-reversal maneuver used to align with the final approach course, and the NoPT instruction explicitly forbids that maneuver. Instead, you must proceed straight in or use any charted alternative for course reversal (such as a hold in lieu of a procedure turn, if published). The other options described are not the standard procedure turn itself, so they aren’t ruled out merely by the NoPT designation.
