Update of presentation dated 04 July 2018:
The slide 22 of the presentation is updated following a recent change in the Flight Crew Operating Manual.
Before: FINAL APP mode should be armed when cleared for approach
After: FINAL APP mode should be armed when cleared for the approach and when the TO waypoint is the Final Descent Point (FDP). This last condition has been added to avoid cases where the FINAL APP mode flies level off segments. FINAL APP is not designed to fly level off segments.
For most airlines, flying an NPA is not a daily operation. Consequently, some flight crews may be confused about the procedure to apply. This presentation will highlight the key points to follow to fly a successful NPA.
