PT6A:

It has to be better than dive n drive right?
Really are two separate issues:

1. Constant angle or constant descent profiles are certainly safer than dive-and-drive.

2. OCH is, or should be, sacred during the IMC phase of flight.

Both can be optimized for safety by applying a DA additive to MDA.
