Steep Baro VNAV approaches
05.08.2010
Submission:
Steep angle approaches are addressed in both precision and non-precision segments in the Pans-Ops manual. Mitigation is required to exceed 3.5 degrees. The BARO-VNAV chapter however states that the maximum angle is 3.5 degrees. Anyone know of a place where steep angle BARO-VNAV procedures are used? My thoughts are that if you can mitigate in accordance with the Pans-Ops manual e.g. appendix to chapter 5 on non-precision - the same arguments can be made for BARO-VNAV - Although I would probably use the precision mitigation. Any thoughts from the other procedure designers?Herman Groenewald - ATM Inspector – GCAA - UAE
