LNAV preferable over LNAV/VNAV
Take a look at the Mobile Alabama KMOB rnav Rwy 14, should be
available here http://www.myairplane.com/databases/...s/00267R14.PDF I notice that lnav/vnav minimums are 660 feet while lnav minimums are 620 feet. My question is, if someone has lnav/vnav authorization, why wouldn't they prefer to do the lnav, using the glideslope as advisory, and descend to an mda which is 40 feet below the decision altitude? I understand the da allows a slight descent below it while initiating a missed approach, but it still seems the lnav only approach would be preferable. Any gurus out there that can provide some input? Any approaches around with an even greater disparity between lnav and lnav/vnav minimums? Stan |
