OPEN DESCENT
-You select what you need and adjust, by active monitoring and periodic crosschecking.
Using a cold temperature corrected FPA and not doing D/Ht check are two different things. Both are required. If you set ISA chart FPA and you find you are in error at the first check then after correcting when you go back to the same FPA you will again be in error because FPA is not appropriate. So you start the descent at corrected FPA but still check after I nm. If in error do the required correction and when correct reset the corrected FPA. This way you have better chance of tracking correct vertical path.
