Quote:'Once within the distance of VGSI coverage, and visual, an adjustment to capture the VGSI generally won't de-stabilize the approach and has the added benefit of not crossing the threshold excessively high.
Often those types of VOR approaches are offset from the runway so there has to be a lateral maneuver once visual.'unquote.
I agree.
Having flown to Innsbruck in Austria on B737s,the Loc approach on Rwy 26 would lead you to an MDA,but then a visual segment was required(slight left turn)to intercept the runway centerline.Therefore allowing extra room to lose some altitude and follow the papis once established on final.
Using a VDP would allow a more standard rate of descent at low altitude.
I have never flown to Geneva but I am sure if you do a non precision approach there and continue to the published MAP,you will be high on final,therefore the importance of defining your VDP before the approach and then be able to continue with the same rate to establish on the papis.
