Tks to everybody for apporting their pilot techniques!

I think Moggie was giving two keywords: Situational Aw. & Monitoring.

As we all know sometimes it is possible to reach the same objective with different ways.

In this case I prefer to adhere for a constant descent (as close as possible to the std 3° angle) trying to figure out the VDP with reference to "Dist. from RWY" vs. "cloud base".

PNF will give the deviations from the published std profile (in terms of ft).

For what is concerning the MAPt I look at it in particular for the separation from obstacle in case of a GA with an engine failure.

Looking for your comments.

Cheers.

Fly safe & enjoy life.
