Landing Procedure - Instrument Approach using VNAV
VNAV should be used only for approaches that have one of the following
features:
• a published GP angle on the LEGS page for the final approach
segment
• an RWxx waypoint at the approach end of the runway
• a missed approach waypoint before the approach end of the runway,
(for example, MXxx).
This procedure is not authorized using QFE.
Pilot Flying Pilot Monitoring
Initially
• If on radar vectors
•HDG SEL
• Pitch mode (as needed)
• If enroute to a fix
• LNAV or other roll mode
• VNAV or other pitch mode
Notify the cabin crew to prepare for
landing. Verify that the cabin is secure.
Call “FLAPS ___” according to the flap
extension schedule.
Set the flap lever as directed. Monitor
flaps and slats extension.
The recommended roll modes for the final approach are:
• for an RNAV or GPS approach use LNAV
• for a LOC-BC, VOR or NDB approach use LNAV
• for a LOC, SDF or LDA approach use LNAV or VOR/LOC.
When on the final approach course intercept heading for LOC, LOC-BC, SDF or
LDA approaches:
• verify that the localizer is tuned and identified
YK981 - YQ456
• verify that the LOC pointer is shown.
Select LNAV or arm the VOR/LOC
mode.
WARNING: When using LNAV to intercept the localizer, LNAV might parallel
the localizer without capturing it. The airplane can then descend
on the VNAV path with the localizer not captured.
