Approach Classification

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1570 Bruce:
As a point of interest, what classification should be given to a Back Course approach, as it is half ILS and half Visual?.

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi Bruce,

There is no classification for that because it's kind'a tricky to know what approach did you made using only ACARS information ...

Maybe one day ? ;) ...

Regards,

EHM-1358 Tim:
I'd say ILS because your flying ILS in an IFR flight. Just my opinion.

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well, I always had a vision in my mind, that (final) approach in pilots language is the period when you are aligned with the runway at 2000 ft (on the most airports), and ready for landing. Now if you do this part visual then it is a visual landing, and does not matter how do you navigate until that point. I guess, at least...

EHM-1358 Tim:
But wouldn't that be the lineing up onto the runway, not the landing part?
