Is that the RNAV approach? Forgive a question from a non-instrument rated pilot:
Is the RNAV approach flown so you are level at 3000 before AKDEL (how far before?) or is it flown in a continuous descent to cross AKDEL not below 3000? If flown as a continuous descent you could be significantly higher than 3000, 10 miles from the threshold.
For the GLS approach, are you required to be level at 2500, or can you be above 2500 and descending?
