APPROACH LIMITATIONS
- ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, GLS, MLS, Visual, and Radar
approaches using the FMS as the navigation source for guidance
are prohibited. This limitation does not apply to RNAV Visual or FMS
Visual approaches.
- FMS instrument approaches must be accomplished in accordance
with approved instrument approach procedures that are retrievable
from the FMS navigation database (as displayed on the APPROACH
page on the MCDU). The pilot must review the complete procedure,
comparing the waypoints, speeds, and altitudes displayed on the
FMS with those on the published procedure charts. If any doubt
exists about the integrity of the coded procedure, the procedure
should not be used.
- Prior to commencing and during the final approach, the APPR
annunciator must be visible on the PFD. If the APPR annunciator is
not visible, and the appropriate runway visibility indications are not
observed, the pilot should request a missed approach.
- When using FMS guidance to conduct an instrument approach
procedure that does not include GPS in the title of the published
procedure, the flight crew must verify that the procedure specified
navaids(s) and associated avionics are operational (i.e. VOR, DME,
ADF). If GPS RAIM is annunciated as not available during the
approach, the pilot must monitor FMS guidance data and
crosscheck against raw data from the alternate source(s).
- When a GPS Only Approach is planned (GPS only in title or GPS
required by operational rules), prior to dispatch, the crew is required
to verify that the predictive RAIM at the destination ETA is within the
approach criteria. This information (RAIM AVAILABLE), is displayed
on the PREDICTIVE RAIM page on the MCDU.
- When the reported station temperature exceeds the limits published
in the approach chart, the use of VNAV barometric procedures are
prohibited unless the pilot uses the VNAV temperature
compensation function.
- Use of VNAV for a constant glide path approach procedures to a
Decision Altitude is prohibited for airplanes Pre-Mod.
