Don’t FAP on the airplane!

"FINAL APPROACH POINT- The point, applicable only to a nonprecision approach with no depicted FAF (such as an on airport VOR), where the aircraft is established inbound on the final approach course from the procedure turn and where the final approach descent may be commenced. The FAP serves as the FAF and identifies the beginning of the final approach segment."

FAF is a fix, FAP is a hotel activity.
But in reality - a fix is generally identifiable with ground-based navaids or radar. Generally you'll find FAP and MAP on an RNAV approach since those are just GPS points in space.
