Descent and Approach Flashcards
General descent inputs in FMC?
- FMC DESC page - Insert 250/100 and check the altitude restriction
at CDU R1 - Complete FORECAST
- Select VSD passing MSA or FL100 whichever is higher
Approach preparation Fixes?
- FMC FIX - Line select the RWxx point
-Insert a 3x altitude ring.
-10nm ring
- 4 or 5 nm ring (VMC or IMC) depending on the Landing Gate for all approach types.
-
Speeds inside 10nm ring
All FMC speeds inside the 10nm ring, above 180kts,
must be adjusted to 180B subject to flap load relief limits.
At transition level
PF: “SET QNH____, PASSING____
DESCENDING ___FEET, ___
FLAGS, STANDBY ALTIMETER
SET.”
Call “FRISC”
PM:
F - Frequencies (ADF and VOR)
R - Ensure that the Fix Distance Rings
are correct for the selected runway
(reference FMC CDU Fix page.)
I - Idents
S - Standby instruments (VOR, ADF
and QNH set).
C - Courses.
High speed app restriction
If instructed a high speed descent below FL100:
-FMC 250/60
PA announcement for cabin crew?
PA: “CABIN CREW, SEAT FOR
LANDING”, approximately 6 NM
from touchdown.

Visual approach
- generate an RX point at 4.0nm from the runway threshold with a 3
degree glide path - The corresponding altitude at this point should be made a “hard altitude” in the
FMC. - Crews shall plan to be established on final approach with the landing gear down and flaps 15 by 4nm from the runway.
Timed Non Precision Approaches ( RYR )
(a) LNA V may be used as the magenta line takes into account the timing limitations of the outbound leg.
(b) VNAV may be used subject to: An appropriate path with the MAPt at
or before the runway threshold, and/or a glidepath is published on the LEGS page.
Note: The Double Brief covers all operational issues and the use of the
5 mile ring from the RWxx point identifies the configuration
point.
1- Cross the IAF with F1 (220kts max.)
2- Proceed outbound as per published timing.
3 - Commence the inbound turn F5 (180kts max.)
4 - Select gear down and F15 and do the landing checks. (5 mile ring
when using VNAV).
5 - F30/40 and descend to MDA (max ROD 1000/min.)
6 - At any time during the approach, if position is in doubt or unable to
continue to a successful landing, initiate a standard missed approach
procedure.
Autoland call outs
The same as any other app but:
PM: “500 RADIO FLARE ARMED”
PF: Call: “Passing ___RADIO, FLARE
ARMED”
Instrument Approaches using VNAV
- Enter the RWxx
- Enter a 10 nm ring
and either a 4 nm ring (VMC) or a 5 nm ring - Extend flaps 1 prior to the 10 nm ring.
Call: “FLAPS__” according to the flap
extension schedule. Select SPD INTV
if VNAV engaged.
PM: 2 NM before the ND Descent Point call: “APPROACHING DESCENT
PF: Set MDA on the MCP and call “XXX
FEET SET”, select or verify VNAV
PATH and call “VNAV PATH”, select
or verify speed intervention and call
“SPEED INTERVENT”
PF: At the Final Approach Fix, call “FAF
XXX FEET, FLAGS/NO FLAGS.”
PM: “ALTITUDE CHECKS/ALTITUDE
DOES NOT CHECK, FLAGS/ NO
FLAGS”
PF: At 5nm or 4nm, but not later
than 3.5nm (VMC), call “GEAR
DOWN”, “FLAPS 15” and arm speed
brake and check green light
illuminated. Call “LANDING
CHECKLIST DOWN TO FLAPS.”
sigue como siempre…..
PF: 1000 feet AAL the PF shall point to the Missed Approach Altitude on the FMC LEGS page and call “XXXX FEET”.
The PF shall then set that Missed
Approach Altitude in the MCP
Altitude, point to it and call “SET”
Non-Precision Approaches Using VNA V – Guidance
The MDA/DA is set on the PFD as published on the approach chart
(subject to temperature correction) with the addition of 40 feet (not
applicable for LNA V/VNA V minima)
After shutdown the engines
After confirming N2 <20%, PF calls
“Engine 1 and Engine 2 below 20%” and places the
ANTI-COLLISION light switch OFF.
