VH. Note how the CASA CAAP makes no mention of the fact that in such a VNAV. approach that there is an actual GPS position in the data base that starts the continuous descent.

This surely must reduce the chance of starting the descent too early.

Are they suggesting that a company like Garmin would provide a descent profile that runs into a mountain? Gad. They must be more amateur than I thought.
