Gents,

Me thinks yoy lot are losing the plot somewhat.

The key issue here is not getting to the sight picture, or what we call it when we get there.

There real issue is what happens (or does not happen) prior to reaching that theoretical point in space, IE Not descend below MDH, not decelerate below VMIN-NVMC for the type.

To make this work the point needs to be plotted on a profile diagram and that menas a TLA I am afraid.

"You must not descend before the Sight Picture"

"You must not descend before the Intercepting"

See what I mean.

The Point in space, and the subsequent call, should ideally be the same. Using a verb to describe a place simply does not work.

CTB...............before you rush off to your keyoboards TEL ME WHAT IT MEANS!!!! I bet you have the answer immediatley....cos it says what it menas on the Tin.

Like it or not some things stick!!!!!!
