I note there was no discussion between the crew of target descent rates for the VSI, or likely nose angles, nor changes thereto when they were held high.
Is this normal? Even if they had held "instrument discipline", how would they have known what to look for?
I was taught to do this for all approaches, or height changes during intercepts (RAF).

p.s. I've seen #28 were this is first mentioned, but I am wondering what is standard procedure for non-precision approach briefings (esp. at night) these days.
