LOW ALTITUDE APPROACH
Normally fly instrument approaches at 120-150 KIAS. Prior to the final approach fix,
ensure the landing gear is down and flaps are set to TO, and slow to a minimum of
110 KIAS.
With the field in sight and departing the MDA, DA, or DH, slow to 105 KIAS minimum,
or the pilot may select landing flaps and slow to 100 KIAS minimum.
Fly GPS approaches using the above airspeeds and configurations.
WARNING
 The GPS always displays distance to the active waypoint. During GPS
approaches, this distance may not be the same as the published DME
distance on the instrument approach procedure.
RADAR APPROACH
Maintain 150-200 KIAS in clean configuration on radar downwind. Slow to 120-150
KIAS on base leg. Prior to glideslope intercept, ensure that landing gear are down
and set flaps as required.
Fly final approach at 100-120 KIAS.
CIRCLING APPROACH
Minimum recommended speed prior to final approach is 115 KIAS with gear down
and flaps set to TO.
MISSED APPROACH
Smoothly advance PCL to MAX power and retract the speed brake (if extended). Set
attitude to 10-15° nose high and execute air traffic control (ATC) missed approach
procedure.
Maintain the landing approach speed until clear of obstacles. Reduce power as
required to preclude excessive nose high attitude in actual instrument conditions.
Refer to the After Take-off checklist.
