The chart is very specific Baro-VNAV operations N/A below -15C...non-comp or comp N/A



My opinion is that you can use LNAV/VNAV during the approach with the corrected altitudes.
You can do it in any vertical speed mode as you like as long as the minimum altitudes are adhered to. Your company may have some SOP/restrictions but we do it in LNAV/VNAV yes.
If you temp comp, yes LNAV/VNAV because the limits are there to "protect" the aircraft from descending outside the altitude limits. By compensating, you are flying true altitudes.
Pretty amazing the understanding of flight procedures exhibited here on PPRUNE....Care to revise?


So, no (in our case). If temps are below what's charted then no (uncompensated) VNAV. Manual correction is not an approved TEMP compensation standard and would invalidate the coding.
The FCOM states that the approach procedure cannot be modified from FAF to MAPt, so adjusting altitudes to compensate the final segment for temp is not possible
Thank you.
