That all seems to make sense. It certainly doesn't take you to the runway. The instrument approach ends at 3000 feet above field elevation and for the likes of me who has not completed the authourisation course, i have to initiate MAP at 5000 feet agl.
have been in twice now and it is stunningly beautiful in clear and sunny conditions. I have practised the IGS and just hope that i don't have to rely on it anytime soon.
Are there certain types of aircraft which could not descend on a 6 degree slope with less than 200kts on the clock? Would a citation or the likes have to take full flap and gear at the top of the slope or would you use speed brakes all the way down? I see FLYBE come in here, what do they use, Dash 8 and if so what procedures do you use in terms of configuration and speed? Just interested if anyone in the know is watching.
