Hi everyone, I have a few questions for you.
My friend asked me but I have some doubts so I couldn't answer them so I decided to consult you.
He says his company procedures
5 Nm to Glide path
Flaps 1
3 Nm to Glide path
Flaps 5
With Glide path intercept
Flaps 30 and landing checklist. Etc.
At final approach fix
Call passing altitude
He wants to execute this procedures.
The problem is to decide where the Glide path and FaF begin.
We can't decide the Glide path beginning point? and final approach fix? ( in most of the charts faf is represented by Maltese cross, ok this is obvious, but some charts don't have the cross. If no cross how can I understand the faf?
For examples
Charles de Gaulle vor 08L approach
Which faf is 17.3 dme and in this condition we should extend flaps 1 on 22.3 dme, right?
Isn't it too far to extend flaps 1?
Other one is in the pic
Can you guys tell me what is the faf and where the Glide path begins?
Two different pictures of vor approaches
