see people outside some of the buildings on this ridge waving at
you - you’re that close.
With weather enabled it is extremely important to watch for the
Föhn wind in this area as it can easily blow you off course and
make it so you don’t have enough room to the right to make the
turn at the end of valley.
Once established on the correct downwind path, select Flaps 40
and reduce the MCP SPEED window to our VREF + 5, which
should be 140 or so.
Set both engine start selectors on the lower overhead to CONT.
Arm the ground auto-spoilers with the clickspot or by pressing
Shift-/
Run the LANDING CHECKLIST located on page NC.3 of the
QRH. (page 27 of the PDF version)
Carefully monitor the DME on the ND and watch for the dashed
green 3.5 DME circle around OEV. A bit prior to reaching
3.5DME OEV / 14.1 DME OEJ do the following:
o Lower the HGS.
o Disconnect the autopilot and autothrottle.
o Turn off both flight director switches.
o Set the missed approach altitude (9500) in the MCP
ALTITUDE window.
o Set the runway heading, 079 in the MCP HEADING
window.
At 3.5 DME OEV, begin a descending steep turn to the right to line up
with Runway 8. Use around 30 degrees of bank (the last tic mark on the
HGS bank scale). Pay careful attention to thrust during this maneuver, it’s
very easy to speed up after you start descending – you need to reduce
thrust as you start descending. Your current airspeed is located to the left
and just below the flight path vector.
Again, be very careful not to descend too far too early, there is a ridge
