The KTM 02 approach is actually quite simple.Use a suitable method to stay on the inbound course (LNAV etc without map shift plus PM monitoring the raw data).Descent wise, 10DME fully configured, you commence the STEEP part of the the approach, and will need a descent rate of somewhere close to 1800 fpm even more if there is a tailwind, monitor the vertical descent scale, as installed, as a back up reference.At 5DME reduce your descent rate to NORMAL, nominally 700 fpm corrected for groundspeed, and start looking outside for the runway! It really is that simple, ive flown it and trained others on it over 80 times.........Peter.
