Low Drag ILS approach RYR
I have got an outdated Ryanair's FCOM for my PMDG 737 NGX
on this chapter and picture, is the A/C approaching the ILS or Localizer at the standard distance of roughly 10nm from touchdown? or is it infact intercepting the ILS at about 1200ft...

What is the difference with a Low Drag ILS APP and a CAT I single channel manual approach
If i stand correct a CAT I ILS APP can also be a low drag -
During a CAT I ILS, the standard is to use low drag techniques, meaning
that you will delay flap and gear extension to optimise performance
and noise characteristics.

Ryanair's FCOM also mentions this
Landing Procedure Single Channel or Manual - Pilot Flying
and Pilot Monitoring < RYR >
At 4nm, but not later than 3.5nm,
call “GEAR DOWN”, “FLAPS
15." Arm speed brake and check
green light illuminated. Call
“LANDING CHECKLIST DOWN
TO FLAPS.”
At glide slope capture, verify
proper mode annunciation, check
N1 reference bug at the go–around
limit and verify missed approach
altitude set.
is this referring to the FAF - glideslope intercept or from touchdown?
I thought glide slope capture would happen before 4nm...
thanks guys just need these things cleared up. much appreacited, vernon.

Thanks for the response!
Also for CAT I Minima is RVR 550m and DA200 AGL
Does cloud ceiling become a factor or is this just for NPA and VISUAL app?

Thanks!
Talking about approaches. I was looking at the minimums at LFLB, ILS rwy 18 and each one has a % next to it. Now this means the approach climb gradient and there is a few to choose from like, 2.0% 2.5% 3.0% etc. how can i work out what is for my AC?

You need to get into the performance part of the flight manual and work it out. The FCOM may have some simplified information to make it easier.
Chances are some one at your airline has already done this, so ask around. Try your performance department.

Yeh i used 1690ft as the minima. Think that was about 5% for rwy 36
Also how can i work out for a given speed over a certain distance, on when to turn downwind?
Example :
Fly the ILS approach on heading 176 and at point A turn left to point B on heading 135 for 2.6nm. Then turn right for downwind for xxnm
How can i work out those distances to fly in seconds? So when i turn at those points i start my stop watch. Speed is 150kts max so gear down f25-30 at this point.
I do have other visual aids like the highway A43 that pilots use for this approach, because i have european roads added to my flight sim.
Thanks!!

That's a special approach! In real life I'd be flying it visually during the day. Unfortunately a visual circuit is one of the harder things to do in a sim due to the lack of peripheral vision. At 150 knots you travel 2.5 NM per minute, but you also need to allow for the radius of turn. You could program some RNAV waypoints and follow those.
