AGL (or when AGL is unknown), the descent rate exceeds 4,000 ft. AGL and the descent rate exceeds 3,000 ft. AGL, the descent rate is between 3000 ft. Runway Final Approach Alert – Alerts when approaching any runway, based on altitude, vertical speed, track, and when within 4 nm of the runway threshold. per minute.

The minima table lists the DA and Height Above Threshold for each type of RNAV approach. LNAV Approach An LNAV (Lateral Navigation) approach helps guide you left and right toward the runway, but it doesnt tell you how to control your descent. You use step-down altitudes at fixes here just like the LNAV method to manage your descent.

Using the VASI is crucial as it gives you safe obstruction clearance within 10 degrees of either side of the runway centerline and around four nautical miles from the runway threshold. The PAPI provides safe obstruction clearance within plus or minus 10 degrees of the extended runway centerline and 3.4 nautical miles.

Any substantial changes to speed and descent rate will destabilize the landing. If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. The aiming point at an actual short field should be as close to the threshold as is safe.

But I accepted the clearance knowing that I could change it with a local Approach control like Syracuse. Once on with Syracuse, I decided to rectify the inefficient routing at the end of my instrument clearance and requested direct to Sodus from the Syracuse VOR. This was even better than I requested.

EDCT – Expected Departure Clearance Time. It warns pilots of a too high or too low descent path. A pair of synchronized flashing lights, located laterally on each corner of the runway approach threshold, providing rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a runway.

Just as I was settled in, the captain announced to all of us that the flight had begun its descent and requested the crew to prepare for landing. We reached the threshold of runway 27. Once we started our descent, I changed the channel to the camera mode (landing gear) to enjoy this view. At this point, we started our descent.
