Landing following ILS
Thanks for your replies.
Maybe should have used a scenario for better clarification
For example:
Destination aerodrome requires an alternate due cloud below Alternate Minima
Has a published ILS with minima at 260’
PEC of 50’ is req, so DA is 310’
Aircraft light twin Cat B
Required navaids working to conduct the ILS
Destination ATIS
……..
CLOUD: BKN 500’
VISIBILITY: 3000mtrs RAIN
……..
Currently at the Outer Marker, doing 110-120 kts, undercarriage down flaps first stage Alt check completed no discrepancies.
When do you start to slow the aircraft down to approach speed for landing and conduct final checks
OR
Continue the approach in the current configuration and assume worst-case scenario for missed approach.
The reason for the clarification is during my training whilst conducting the ILS I always maintained the approach config (first stage flaps 2400rpm) until the Miss. App Point then go around.
Then when I do the landing following the ILS approach I’m bit behind the aircraft with regards to speed reducing it to Vref and always land long. (Though no probs with 3km rwy)
