Alternate Entries and Precautionary Approaches
Familiarization
ABEAM PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH
Arrive at the abeam position, at 3,000 ft AGL, approximately 200 KIAS, and 1.5 nm abeam (Figure 29).
Lower the gear, half flaps, and extend the speed brakes. At low key, commence a 35-degree, 175-KIAS
descent turn toward the runway. Complete the landing checklist prior to reaching the 90-degree position.
Adjust AOB and speed brakes to arrive at the 90-degree position at 1,500 ft AGL and 175 KIAS. Continue
the approach as discussed for the overhead precautionary approach (perpendicular entry).
