Arrival question for real world 737 NG driver

Featured Replies

Hello What is the procedure for landing at a controlled or non controlled airfield where there is no precision approach and no star, may or may not be PAPI or VASI, how far from the field and at what height is the aircraft in the landing configuration given the lack of landing tools, I assume at a radar controlled field you will get vectors to final but what height would you usually be and how far from the field gear down at Vref given the lack of landing guidance, thanks RegardsWayne

A general rule of thumb is to be at 3000 ft 10 miles from the runway. That is also a good rule for an ILS approach because it facilitates a nice 3 degree glideslope descent. Fred.

Gear down and flaps 15.At about 5 miles landing flaps. Usually flaps 30. Autobrakes 2 or 3 and speed brakes armed. Fred.
