UJPT BIFP-07, E2-C2 & IUT BIFP-03
GCA Procedures
c.
Scan
(1) Use level turn scan for turn to base leg
(2) Use level speed change scan for transition to final configuration
(3) Use level flight scan when configuration is complete
4.
Final leg
a.
Procedure
(1) Verify gear down and full flaps/slats
(2) Trim for hands off level flight
(3) AOB should approximate the number of degrees to be turned,
not to exceed 10 degrees AOA
(4) Slow to on-speed AOA (verify against airspeed) - (when within
10 nm and within 30 degrees of heading of the FAC)
(5) Maintain assigned heading and on-speed AOA (verify against
airspeed)
COMMON ERROR: Maintaining 150 KIAS instead of on-speed AOA.
(6) At glidepath interception, extend speed brakes, adjust power,
commence on-speed descent on glidepath, and complete landing
checklist
NOTE: "glideslope" is the descent angle assigned to an approach to
a given runway for terrain or obstacle clearance and/or reception
purposes. Normally, the term is associated with the final descent
angle of an ILS or PAR approach. "Glidepath" is defined as that
portion of a precision approach where the glideslope intersects the
localizer beacon of an ILS or FAC of a PAR.
