I am wondering how you would fly this procedure with a B767 or B737.
1) Do you always have to hold at KTI (arriving at 13000 feet, descending to 11500 in the holding)? Or could you decend from 13000 to 11500 when you are near KTI, whitout holding?
2) After KTI there is a rather steep decsent to AB. What speed and configuration (flap, gear) would you be at before commencing the descent? Would you be more likely to use V/S, FL-CH or VNAV to controll the descent?
3) Reaching AB, what speed and configuration would you likely have? Would you usually disconnect the autopilot before starting the 180 turn towards the airport? If so, what bank angle will you use in the turn?
4) If no longer visual during/after the turn to final, what would you do?
Any awnsers to these questions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
