Ist nicht jeder RNP Anflug, bei dem der Navigator einen "Glidepath" anzeigt, ein 3D Anflug?

EU965/2012 Annex 1 GM33:

A non-precision approach (NPA) procedure flown as CDFA with vertical path guidance calculated by on-board equipment is considered to be a 3D instrument approach operation. Depending on the limitations of the equipment and information sources used to generate vertical guidance, it may be necessary for the pilot to cross-check this guidance against other navigational sources during the approach and to ensure that the minimum altitude/height over published step-down fixes is observed. CDFAs with manual calculation of the required rate of descent are considered 2D operations.

Eine Positionsmeldung ist genau das: Die Meldung einer geographischen Position. Die Anweisung, diese Meldung zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt zu machen (5 Minuten vor...) beschreibt lediglich den Zeitpunkt, wann diese Meldung spätestens gemacht werden soll. Ich vermute, dass den Autoren der SERA dieser Zusammenhang zu offensichtlich war um ihn nochmal explizit zu erklären?

D.h. du fliegst "Maximum cruise" gem. POH? Kein selbstgewähltes ITT Limit um die Turbine nicht so heiß zu fliegen?

Mit welcher ITT fliegst du denn im Reiseflug?

1.6.2 Operators may specify two types of approach procedures for non-precision approaches. The first is that described as: “descend immediately to not below the minimum stepdown fix altitude/height or MDA/H as appropriate”. This method is acceptable as long as the achieved descent gradient remains below 15 per cent and the missed approach is initiated at or before the MAPt.

This procedure is often called: Step Down Approach

Alternatively, operators are encouraged to use a stabilized approach technique for non-precision approaches. This technique requires a continuous descent with a rate of descent adjusted to achieve a constant descent gradient to a point 15 m (50 ft) above threshold, taking due regard of the minimum crossing altitudes/heights specified for the FAF and any prescribed stepdown fix.

This procedure is called: Continuous Descend Approach (CDA).

Note 2.- When using the "stabilized approach" technique in a non-precision approach, the altitude/height at which the missed approach manoeuvre is initiated is a matter of pilot judgement based on the prevailing conditions and the overriding requirement to remain above the MDA/H.

Jeppesen BRIEFING BULLETIN 26 SEP 08 JEP 08-D:

EUROCONTROL has been advised of concerns about the use of Decision Altitude/Height (DA(H)) instead of Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA(H)) as the aerodrome operating minima (AOM) on some non-precision approach charts produced by Jeppesen for countries applying “EU Ops”. This has become a source of confusion and has implications for aircraft operators.

Commission Regulation EC 859/2008 dated 20 August 2008, EU Ops 1.430(d) 2 (applicable from 16 July 2011) states that “all non-precision approaches shall be flown using the continuous descent final approaches (CDFA) technique”.

It is critical to flight safety that pilots brief the DA(H) or MDA(H) (as appropriate) so that there is no ambiguity as to what minimums are being used irrespective of the type of approach being flown.
