• Insert the VDP in non-precision approaches if a glide path is not
available (FIX page FMC). The VDP defines the point where a
missed approach should be initiated: Land or Missed Approach (at
MDA height).
• For straight-in approach, monitor distance to the VOR/NDB in
order not to establish Flaps 5 or the Gear down and Flaps 15
configuration to early.
• The above pattern is indicated for standard operation. Deviations
by ATC, heavy or light gross weights, head or tailwinds, must be
worked upon.
• VASI and PAPI resources must be used when available.
• The main method to fly non-precision approaches is using
LNAV/VNAV. V/S may be used if there is not a glide path angle
shown on the final approach segment of the LEGS page. LNAV
method must be accompanied by conventional indication (MAP /
CTR MAP plus VOR / LOC / ADF indications). LOCALIZER
approaches may be flown using VOR/LOC and VNAV.
