Introduction
Planning and conducting a non-precision approach (NPA) is certainly the most challenging and demanding part of a flight, this includes:
.
Decision making on strategies and options;
.
Effective task-sharing;
.
Crew coordination (monitoring and callouts); and,
.
CFIT awareness (response to GPWS or EGPWS / TAWS warning).
Various types of NPAs (also called non-ILS approaches) share common features but also involve specific techniques, depending on the navaid being used or on the strategy being adopted for:
.
Lateral and vertical guidance;
.
Descending from the final approach fix (FAF) down to the minimum descent altitude(height) MDA(H); and,
.
Making the decision before or when reaching the MDA(H).
This Briefing Note describes the features common to all types of non-precision approaches and the specific features of each individual type of approach.
This Briefing Note highlights the technique of constant-angle (constant-slope) non-precision approach, as opposed to the traditional step-down technique.
