I think what we are saying is that even though Jeppesen says the VNAV GS ensures being above the step-down fixes and GARMIN wrote approved software to make sure the GS needle properly indicates the Jeppesen- provided vertical guidance, the pilot needs to explicitly note whether the step-down fixes have been passed and not follow the GS unless it is consistent with these restrictions. So, it is ok to fly the glideslope, but you must perform these checks as the approach progresses. Seems like a good double check yet lets me keep the stablized approach. The other issues of MDA vs DA and the possible advantage of entering VFR earlier if you dive & drive are noted. Thanks to everyone who responded. Google for "constant angle non-precision approach" for lots of discussion about the pros and cons. Dave |
