The aviation landscape has largely shifted from traditional non-precision approaches to GPS-based "precision-like" (APV/LPV) approaches that provide vertical guidance, due to WAAS and the reduction of ...
A significant safety issue on non-precision approaches is when reported visibility, though above minimums, is less than the Visual Descent Point (VDP) distance, potentially preventing a normal, safe ...
Re non-precision approaches, my contention is much simpler than Andreas Jacobs imagines (Letters, Flight International, 4-10 June). Statistically, non-precision approaches are high on the list of ...
Capt Prakash Goday (Letters, 21-27 May) draws the conclusion that because of the Air China crash at Busan (Flight International, 23-29 April) and “similar crashes”, non-precision approaches are “no ...
The two privately funded precision instrument approach procedures at Monmouth Executive Airport have lower minimums than the non-precision approaches that were originally approved for the airport.
