Just flew a PAR approach to a UK airport the other day. Controller gave no indication of descent point and no info on altitudes versus range at any stage.
- I think you are confused, somewhere, Captain?
1) Descent point - why did you descend, then?
2) altitudes v range - not given on a PAR - GP and azimuth directions only
'Talkdowns to touchdown' not uncommon for real PARs in my experience ('normally' stopped at 200' with azimuth guidance only below). A few centuries ago my Jet Provost QFI had me fly one to touchdown 'under the hood'. (We got the grass stains off the wheels
)
