Good luck!
1) What is this number?
This is a minimum required altitude for this approach segment. You need to stay at or above this altitude prior to reaching DEGAN.

2) What are these dashed lines?
This shows a graphical depiction of the lateral course on the missed approach segment toward the holding fix.

3) What does this star mean?
This star identifies the location of the rotating beacon.

4) When using BEBKE as the IAF for the approach, what is this pattern for?
This is the procedure turn for the approach. This racetrack-shaped example is called a Holding in lieu of Procedure Turn (HILPT), which is designed to align you on the final approach course.

5) What is this symbol?
This is the Visual Descent Point for the LNAV approach. At this point a normal descent to the runway may be conducted; however, any point passed the VDP may provide a descent angle that’s too steep in order to make a stabilized approach. Due to this, you must consider the idea of going missed at the MAP if the runway environment is not in sight by the VDP.

These indicate the location of the middle and inner marker beacons for the ILS approach.
