THE FLYING REFERENCE 

Use of HDG/V/S and the FD is recommended for ILS approaches it is a requirement to use the FPV for FPD for non-precision approaches. 

DELAYED FLAP APPROACH 

(NOSE ABATEMENT) 

Do not compromise the stabilised approach criteria to satisfy noise abatement procedures. Where airport noise abatement procedures specify the use of minimum flap for landing. Full flap should be used unless operational or non-normal procedures require a different configuration. 

APPROACH PHASE ACTIVATION 

Activation of the approach phase initiates a deceleration from managed descent speed. IN NAV or LOC Mode,  the approach phase activated automatically when sequencing the deceleration pseudo-waypoint. When in HDG mode or if an early deceleration is required the approach phase can be activated via the PERF page. When the approach phase is activated the magenta target speed becomes VAPP but the A/THR will maintain the minimum speed for the actual configuration. 

APPROACH SPEED CONSIDERATIONS VAPP 

VAPP displayed on the PERF page is equivalent to VLS for gross weight and landing flap configuration, plus an increment based on the inserted tower wind component. This increment is equivalent to the higher of 5 kt or 1/3 of the tower headwind component for the landing runway in the F-PLN. VAPP is computed at the predicted landing weight while in CRZ or DES phase, and using the current gross weight once the approach phase is activated. The minimum 5 kt increment must be retained if A/THR is On or if severe icing conditions are anticipated. The pilot can insert a lower VAPP on the PERF page, down to VLS if landing is performed with A/THR OFF, no wind,  downburst or icing. A higher VAPP may be inserted if gusty wind or downburst conditions are anticipated but the increment to VLS is limited to 15 kt. 

Managed speed should be used for final approach as it provides ground speed mini guidance even when the VAPP has been manually inserted.
