May 15, 201511 yr I don't know how to properly search for this sort of descent so I can find how to approach it: 14.1NM 240/ 8000A 6.5NM 216/ 7000A 6.5NM 204/ 6000A 6.5NM 176/ 4000A 5.0NM 162/ 2700 2.8NM 151/ 1076 Do I set MCP altitude for each thousand-foot decrement or do I set it to 2700 as my final descent point prior to the landing? You don't need to explain it all, just point me to where it's described. Thanks! Larry Feickert Eschew obfuscation...
May 15, 201511 yr Commercial Member Do I set MCP altitude for each thousand-foot decrement or do I set it to 2700 as my final descent point prior to the landing? The FAA put out guidance that you should roll it to the next restriction in line to prevent it from busting the restriction. The caveat is when the restrictions are closely spaced. It's up to you. I prefer to bring it down just prior to passing each restriction. Kyle Rodgers
May 15, 201511 yr Author Got it! And it makes sense. Thanks, Kyle! Larry Feickert Eschew obfuscation...
