Descent in VNAV. At DDA+300ft: set charted FPA
Is this the standard method on the 738? Is it not permissible to allow VNAV + AP + A/THROTTLE to fly right down to Minima?
Without wishing to start an A v B debate it does seem a bit of a faff (English for nuisance). Selecting an FPA executing, confirming on FMA right at about the time you want to be looking out... FD's off then ON to ARM pop-up? TOGA buttons.....it all seems a bit high workload at a critical time. Does the AP have to be disconnected to execute the GA?
