MAY 10, 2024
Perhaps just prior to the start of descent could be the optimum time–certainly completed no later than commencement of approach. Any NOTAMS applicable? Recall that we must remain at or above MDA until we are in a normal position to perform a normal rate of descent to landing. We also benefit from the latest weather updates.

Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. You might find a NOTAM about your destination’s surface conditions. Don’t depend on NOTAMs to provide up-to-date information on soft field conditions. As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach.
