We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate.

I requested a descent from 6,000’ down to 4,000’ and was denied due to traffic. Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief.

If you’re on a non-precision or precision approach, understanding MDA (Minimum Descent Altitude) and DA (Decision Altitude) is incredibly important. DA is for precision approaches, requiring a decision to land or go around at a specific altitude. Circling approaches and APV are unique cases that dont fit the general rule.

The controller confirmed a descent to 3,000 feet, the minimum safe altitude for BEGKA. At the same time, another aircraft on approach to Montgomery County requested a diversion, as the visibility was below the minimums required. The LPV approach relies on the pilot flying a highly accurate descent path to the decision altitude.

It also allows you to focus on flying during the last stages of the approach and landing. Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach. We also start our descent from the circuit altitude.
