GUMPS at DH


You don't mean a GUMPs check at decision height, do you? I want everything
checked well before decision height so there's nothing to do at decision
height except either land or go missed.

I s'pose. But you really shouldn't be playing with the throttle
constantly either. Somewhere along the line I picked up adding "DFWTP"
to my ILS checklist. DFWTP at GS intercept, GUMPS at DH. It stands for
"Don't F*** With The Power".




Well, OK, maybe not at DH per-se, but it certainly gets done just before
I land. That doesn't mean it wasn't all set up correctly before, but
the habit of doing GUMPS on short final isn't a bad habit.
