Ils approach at GCFV
Hello I am a Spanish ATC working at Canarias control. I would like to comment what happened in my afternoon shift yesterday.
A 737 proceeding from the east to Fuerteventura is cleared for the ils approach before the iaf. He is number one for approach. I see that he descends to 3000´. The procedure starts over FV at 4000´and I tell them why have they done that. The captain says that they can descend to the msa which in fact is 3000´. The mva is 4000´, the approach procedure starts at 4000´. The SID´s are designed so as to be separated from a traffic starting the manouvre at 4000´. Do you think it is necessary to remind the pilot to maintain 4000´until leaving FV ?.
Thanks in advance
