I was going to fly the MD-11F on an RNAV approach into Tegucigalpa-Toncontin (OK, this is crazy, but that is another story). The MCDU did indeed have the RNAV approach to Rwy02 so I selected it. There was one field which requested an input of a MIN PROFILE. What does that mean? Does it mean that the vertical profile will only be respected/flown down to that altitude, and that below that altitude I have to control vertical navigation either by using V/S, open descent or hand-fly the plane?Thanks for any infos.

It's the minimum altitude you can descend to with profile according to your charts for the field. At that point you handly the rest.Regards
