a published MDA(H) used as a decision altitude.
When either of the above minima are not specifically authorized, use the MDA(H) specified for the instrument procedure.
The following diagram illustrates an approach procedure containing DA(H) and MDA(H) minimums for approaches using LNAV/VNAV or LNAV only.

Note: Some non-ILS approaches specify a VNAV DA(H). Regulations may require use of the autopilot in the VNAV PTH mode to permit use of the DA(H).
737-300 - 737-500
When reaching the DA(H) or MDA(H), be prepared to disengage the autopilot and
autothrottle and land or execute an immediate go-around.
737-600 - 737-900
When reaching the DA(H) or MDA(H), be prepared to disengage the autopilot,
disconnect the autothrottle and land or execute an immediate go-around.
Note: If using an MDA(H), initiating a missed approach approximately 50 feet above MDA(H) may be necessary to avoid descending below the MDA(H) during the missed approach, if required for the procedure or by the regulatory authority.
The pilot monitoring should expand the instrument scan to include outside visual cues when approaching DA(H) or MDA(H). Do not continue the approach below DA(H) or MDA(H) unless the airplane is in a position from which a normal approach to the runway of intended landing can be made and suitable visual reference can be maintained. Upon arrival at DA(H) or MDA(H) or any time thereafter, if any of the above requirements are not met, immediately execute the missed approach procedure.
When suitable visual reference is established, maintain the descent path to the flare. Do not descend below the visual glide path. While VNAV PTH guidance may still be used as a reference once the airplane is below DA(H) or MDA(H), the primary means of approach guidance is visual.
Note: VNAV path guidance transitions to level flight once the missed approach fix is passed.

Simulated Instrument Approach Using VNAV
To maintain proficiency, crews may practice instrument approach using VNAV procedures while flying ILS approaches as follows:
.
ensure the ILS is tuned and identified and the ILS raw data is monitored
throughout the approach
.
track the localizer using VOR/LOC or LNAV as the roll mode
.
use VNAV as the pitch mode to track the GP angle. The charted GP angle
normally coincides with the ILS glide slope angle
.
disengage the autopilot by the minimum altitude specified in the
Limitations chapter of the FCOM.
Note: Limit the use of the above technique to VMC weather conditions.
In ambient temperature conditions warmer than ISA standard, the airplane may remain slightly high relative to the ILS glide slope, and in temperatures colder than ISA standard, the airplane may remain slightly lower than the ILS glide slope. Discontinue use of this technique and manually track the localizer and glide slope if localizer or glide slope deviations become unacceptable.
