TACAN and VOR Procedures
(b) Reduce power to establish a
rate of descent (not to exceed
1,000 fpm) that will ensure
reaching MDA prior to MAP.
Adjust nose attitude as
necessary to maintain on-
speed AOA
COMMON ERROR:
Generally, you should not
exceed the 1,000 fpm rate of
descent during the final
portion of approach. If the
approach requires a higher
rate of descent, advise your
IP prior to exceeding the
1,000 fpm rate.
(c) Use normal lead point (10
percent of VSI) for level-off at
MDA
COMMON ERROR:
Concentrating on not
descending below the MDA
may cause you to
overcompensate and level off
above the published MDA.
(2) At MDA
(a) Maintain altitude
(b) Begin "inside/outside" scan
before reaching MAP
COMMON ERROR:
Concentrating too much on
instruments and not looking
for the runway environment
until reaching MAP. A normal
glidepath to the runway will
intersect the MDA before the
MAP.
