Continuous Descent Final Approach

The text of the JAA leaflet indicates that a go around is mandatory at DA when flying a CDFA correctly but points out that at the published DA and with RVR at the published minima it may not be possible to see the required visual cues to continue visually even if ground contact is achieved.

This translates into a tip for Sim Instructors to up the vis if you want to achieve a successful approach to a landing. I was wondering why my guys couldn't see the approach lights at DA and now I know.

The old style approaches with level flight to MAP may still be available depending on your OM. CPs please note, we need to know what your OM says on that subject so please make sure your lads and lasses are aware if they present for TR or Recurrent Training.
