Wait until landing is assured, but no later than 50 ft AGL, to disconnect
the yaw damper.
Just prior to landing, confirm proper landing configuration.
Approach with Vertical Guidance
Establish the final configuration prior to the final approach fix or
glideslope/glidepath intercept. If flying with two crew members, verbally
announce “1000 ft above” and “100 ft above” the DA/MDA. Declare
intention to “Land,” “Go-around” or “Continue” no later than the
DA/MDA. Disconnect autopilot no later than 200 ft AGL for a non-
precision approach and 100 ft AGL for a precision approach.
CAUTION
If using the GP mode to fly the vertical path with a non-
precision approach, the aircraft will not level off at the
selected altitude.
Non-precision Approach (without vertical guidance)
Establish the final configuration prior to the final approach fix. If flying
with two crew members, verbally announce “1000 ft above” and “100 ft
above” the MDA. Declare intention to “Land” or “Go-around” no later
than the visual descent point. Disconnect autopilot no later than 200 ft
AGL for a non-precision approach.
Circling
This section refers to that visual portion of an instrument approach flown
in VMC after the final approach segment when the aircraft is within the
appropriate circling distance.
Circling approaches are flown with the flaps at LDG and the landing gear
down at V
