1. 1) What does the circle surrounding this waypoint indicate?
   Boldmethod

   When a waypoint has a circle around it, it indicates that the waypoint is a fly-over point and must be flown over, as opposed to a fly-by point which can use turn anticipation.

2. 2) What is the bold "V"?
   Boldmethod

   The visual descent point is the point on the non-precision approach which allows for a normal 3 degree descent path to the runway. Any point past the visual decent point may require a missed approach to be executed due to an excessive descent rate needed to reach the runway.

5. 5) What does this symbol (A4) denote?
   Boldmethod

   This represents the type of approach lighting configuration for the runway. In this example, "A4" means the lighting is a medium intensity or simplified short approach light system, which can be a MALS, MALSF, SSALS, or SSALF. In this case, it's a MALSF, which is labeled at the top of the box.
