You should be d/w at F speed (140 to 145) with F3 assuming 2 engs.
Diameter of turn at that TAS (no crosswind) is about 1.5nm so stay close.
3xht in secs corrected from abeam. Always go a little further if you can (5secs) then spin the TK Selector onto the RW TK, leaving the AP on. Watch the X-TK error counting down. Half way round, you should be only .7 or .8 cross TK. Now look out for the PAPIs. When you see 3 reds, AP off, FDs off, FPV to minus 3 degrees, flap full and keep an eye on the magenta donut if FPL is sequenced! Landing Checklist. Cleared to land? Et voila!!
