Traditional non-precision instrument approaches involved a high-workload "chop and drive" method of rapidly descending to the Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA), leveling off, and then searching for the ...

Stabilized approaches are crucial for aviation safety, significantly reducing pilot workload and the risk of accidents like CFIT or runway overruns by ensuring a predictable and controlled descent.

Re non-precision approaches, my contention is much simpler than Andreas Jacobs imagines (Letters, Flight International, 4-10 June). Statistically, non-precision approaches are high on the list of ...

Capt Prakash Goday (Letters, 21-27 May) draws the conclusion that because of the Air China crash at Busan (Flight International, 23-29 April) and “similar crashes”, non-precision approaches are “no ...

The two privately funded precision instrument approach procedures at Monmouth Executive Airport have lower minimums than the non-precision approaches that were originally approved for the airport.
