There appeared to be a bit of confusion in the previous thread link as to why you add 50'/min to the result of the 5 x GS to maintain a 3deg profile.
On approach with a GS of 150kts (2.5nm/min) you would calculate 750'/min ROD.
In the Jepps however a 3deg profile is 320'/nm. So at 2.5nm/min you would require 800'/min ROD...
Some other IFR questions...
How much obstacle clearance do the shaded (do not penetrate) boxes on the approach plate afford you? What about a DGA plate?
During a visual approach to an aerodrome at night, can you use a circling category higher than your own aircraft to use a larger circling area to descend from msa earlier?
Validity of QNH?
A missed approach must be conducted if?
During a DGA, the arrival must be discontinued in the event of significant disparity between the aid and GPS track. Define significant?
Conducting an RNAV runway approach during the day, you arrive at the MDA, how do you know you have the required visibility?
