Approach and landing
1. As the aircraft makes a left turn to line-up with the runway we will deploy
flaps to 5.
2. Once the aircraft is lined up, turn off the autopilot and F/D. Deploy flaps
25. Set the speed in the A/T to 130KNOTS.
3. A magenta diamond will appear on the PFD. This is the ILS. Try to keep
the magenta diamond centred. At 2,600ft deploy flaps 30.
4. We will be performing a visual approach. Keep the aircraft lined up with
the runway centre line by using the magenta ILS bug and have a managed
descent which is under -1000ft/minute. Use the red/white PAPI lights at
the runway for vertical descent guidance. Four red lights means you are
too low and four white lights means that you are too high. Aim for two
white and two red.
5. Make smooth and small adjustments to ensure passenger comfort and
safety. Any sudden movements could result in the aircraft stalling.
