OPS 1.450 Terminology
“Continuous descent final approach (CDFA)”. A specific technique for flying the final-approach segment of a nonprecision instrument approach procedure as a continuous descent, without level-off, from an altitude/height at or above the Final Approach Fix altitude / height to a point approximately 15 m (50 feet) above the landing runway threshold or the point where the flare manoeuvre should begin for the type of aeroplane flown.
