906.4.b Glide Slope Flight Procedure
Approach the glide slope intercept point (usually the OM) with
the flaps set to approach deflection of 15° at 100-110 KIAS (see
Limitations Section) and with the aircraft stabilized in altitude
hold mode. At the glide slope intercept, lower the landing gear
and adjust power for the desired descent speed. For best
tracking results make power adjustments in small, smooth
increments to maintain desired airspeed. At the missed approach
point or the decision height, disconnect the autopilot for landing
or for the go-around maneuver (see Limitations Section). If a
missed approach is required, the autopilot may be reengaged
after the aircraft has been reconfigured for and established in
stabilized climb.
