NP.21.42 - Changed to “When descending below” from “At the” transition
level to clarify what altimeter setting to use if given a clearance to level off at
the transition level.
Landing Procedure - ILS
NP.21.44 -
Landing Procedure - Instrument Approach using VNAV
NP.21.46 - Deleted the guidance to use the autopilot during the approach. The
Normal Procedure Philosophy and Assumptions assume autopilot use. And
the normal takeoff procedure has the crew engage the autopilot. The autopilot
is normally used per Boeing procedures, and so recommending autopilot use
is redundant. The reasons to use the autopilot during a VVAV approach is
being moved to the Flight Crew Training Manual.
NP.21.47 - Deleted the guidance to use the autopilot during the approach. The
Normal Procedure Philosophy and Assumptions assume autopilot use. And
the normal takeoff procedure has the crew engage the autopilot. The autopilot
is normally used per Boeing procedures, and so recommending autopilot use
is redundant. The reasons to use the autopilot during a VVAV approach is
being moved to the Flight Crew Training Manual.
NP.21.47 - Added “Verify they agree within 100 feet” to the step to
crosscheck the altimeters at the final approach fix. This is needed for
Performance Based Navigation (PBN) approaches. Also reformatted for
easier reading.

reference is established.” The Normal Procedure Philosophy and
