Precision Approach (ILS Approach or RNAV Approach to LPV Minimums)
1. Complete the “Approach Checklist” and identify the localizer as early as
possible
2. Slow to 90 KIAS on vectors or when on final approach course inbound
3. Announce “Localizer Alive” when localizer begins moving toward center
4. Announce “Glideslope Alive” when glideslope begins moving toward
center
5. Verify no flags at glideslope intercept altitude and marker
6. 1⁄2 dot below glideslope intercept: Slow to 75 KIAS and select flaps 20°
(V FE = 85 KIAS), “Before Landing Checklist”
7. Intercepting glideslope: Reduce power to approx. 1500 RPM
8. Descend on glideslope at 75 KIAS.
9. Announce at 1,000' above DA: “1,000 to go”
10. Announce at 100' above DA: “Approaching Minimums”
11. “Minimums”
12. If runway is in sight: descend and slow to 70 KIAS
13. On short final, slow to 65 KIAS until 10’ to 20’ above the runway
Localizer Movement
Toward Center
• “Localizer Alive”
No Later than 15 Mi. from Airport
• Approach Check
• Identify the localizer as early as possible
On Vectors or Published Segment
• Slow to 90 KIAS
100' Above DA
1,000' Above DA • “Approaching Minimums”
• “1,000 to go”
DA
• “Minimums”
Touchdown
• Touchdown on first third of the
runway at minimum controllable
airspeed
• Maintain Centerline Until Taxi Speed
• Increase Crosswind Control Inputs as
Airplane Slows
Glideslope Movement
Toward Center
• “Glideslope Alive”
• Verify no flags
½ Dot Below Glideslope
• Begin slowing to 75 KIAS
• “Before Landing Checklist”,
Flaps 20° (below 85 KIAS)
• Reduce power to approx.
1500 RPM
300'-200'
• Stabilized approach
check / go-around
decision
Glideslope Intercept
• Descend on glideslope
at 75 KIAS
Runway in Sight
• Descend and slow to 70 KIAS
• Short final – slow to 65 KIAS until 10' to
20' above runway
TIP: The airplane is considered established inbound when the
localizer is alive.
