Descent out of MDA, visual or VDP?

[TonyC]

FAR AIM book

5-4-5. Instrument Approach Procedure Charts



e. Visual Descent Points (VDP's) ... 1.



​

BTW the additional note on not descending below VDP has not always been there but it is now. Hope this helps, take care...

Thanks, Swerpipe, that's exactly what I was interested in. I reckon I oughtta get a more current AIM!

CANPA (Constant Angle Non Precision Approach) is the way to go.

WAAS is here

Tony,

I totally agree with you. There are way to many non-precision /A,B,C still around. Hopefully the WAAS with the LPV(LNAV/VNAV) and TAWS will give us an added level of safety. Done too many of those drive and drop approches on the Metro at night
