To
pilots, such a thing need not to be explained at all.
Moreover, in case when a company detailed a specific automation drill in their manuals (such as LNAV/FPV 2D APCH in sub-zero temps) and omitted to-reiterate distance/altitude principle for the sake of brevity or whatever,
pilots would do it anyhow.
Not to mention any
pilot examiner would need to discontinue the bi-yearly check-ride should the applicants ignore such basic protocol.
There is something rotten west of the Denmark's largest island.
