Part B Section 2
2.2.4 APPROACH AND LANDING
01 APPROACH POLICY
In general all approaches should be flown stabilized.
'Stabilized' means:
- Established 90 kts IAS
- Stabilized power (20”MAP/ 2050 RPM)
To avoid harmful vibrations and counter weight distress, power settings should adhere to
the rule that for every 1”of MAP there should not be more than 100 RPM. If the MAP is
20”, the RPM should not exceed 2000. For this reason we recommend to fly a visual glide
path of 2°.
Threshold crossing speed is1.3 Vstall wich is approximately 80 Kts
02 ARRIVAL CREW BRIEFING
It is recommended to perform the arrival crew briefing while at cruising altitude. The crew
briefing should be completed by the PF before terminal area penetration, so that both crew
members are familiar with descent altitude restrictions, terminal area characteristics,
approach facilities and airport data.
The crew briefing will cover the previous mentioned ANWB sequence with the following
items:
• Any deviation from the standard Part B procedures.
• TOD and applicable minimum altitudes.
• Type of approach.
• Missed Approach Procedure
• Taxi-in route.
• Set-up of NAV-equipment.
• Operational impact of local situation, weather and aircraft deficiencies, if not yet covered.
• Obstacles in the circling area.
• Transition to published missed approach procedure from any position in the visual part.
03 APPROACH INITIATION
Perform the approach checklist +/- 15 minutes prior landing and lower the gear in a very
early stage in order to make a visual check possible which will not interfere with the higher
workload during the actual approach.
