.
After two minutes are up, perform the procedure turn with a 45 second leg outbound. The aircraft should remain within 10 NM from the VOR.
.
Intercept the final approach course inbound. As soon as the aircraft is established inbound on the final approach course, select flaps 40., slow to target airspeed, and set vertical speed to 700 FPM down. (If the procedure turn minimum altitude HAT is 2000 feet AGL or higher, use 1000 FPM down.) The aircraft should arrive at DDA at a point short of a normal glidepath to the runway.
.
Descent below DDA requires visual conditions. If visual conditions do not exist at DDA (no visual contact with the surface), accomplish missed approach.
.
If visual conditions exist at DDA (visual contact with the surface), continue the approach for landing. If below a normal glidepath to the runway, level off by setting vertical speed to zero or using ALT HLD. The aircraft may be flown level (no more than 50 feet below DDA) until intercepting a normal glidepath to the runway.
.
Execute a missed approach at the MAP if adequate visual reference is not attained, or the aircraft is not in a position to make a safe landing.
Missed Approach
Accomplish a missed approach upon arrival at the DDA if the required visual conditions do not exist for landing, or if the airplane is not in a position to accomplish a safe landing.
Do not accomplish any turns required by the missed approach procedure until after passing the MAP.

CIRCLING APPROACHES
The MD-80 is considered a Category D aircraft for purposes of circling approaches.
Continental Airlines Operations Specifications prohibit circling approaches in weather conditions below 1,000' ceilings and 3 miles visibility. If a circling approach is conducted, it must be in weather conditions equal to or greater than 1,000'/3, or Category D minimums, whichever is higher; and with a minimum MDA of 1000 feet AFE or published minimums, whichever is higher.
Maintain a configuration of gear down, flaps 28/EXT at 28/EXT maneuvering speed while maneuvering at or above MDA. The 1000’ MDA (or published minimums) must be maintained until in position to make a normal descent to the runway. At that time, select landing flaps and reduce speed to target. Complete the LANDING CHECKLIST.
The PNF should provide maneuvering instructions and/or monitoring of altitude and airspeed as directed by the PF. Care should be taken to avoid a situation where both pilots’ attention is directed out of the cockpit. When the PF begins the visual descent to the runway, the PNF should closely monitor airspeed and rate of descent.
Due to the 1,000'/3 restriction, circling approaches are not specifically trained or checked.

VISUAL APPROACH
A visual approach is an instrument clearance, which often allows the pilot to fly a shorter approach pattern to the airport without the restrictions of an instrument approach procedure. Separation from other aircraft is the responsibility of the pilot once he reports the other aircraft in sight. Airspeed control and altitude must be monitored closely to maintain adequate separation and ensure a smooth and comfortable approach.
Often, when cleared for a visual approach, the aircraft is at a higher than optimum altitude due to ATC noise abatement or departure requirements. The pilot is responsible for adjusting the aircraft flight path, airspeed, and altitude to achieve a safe and stable visual landing. In this situation, slats, flaps, and landing gear should be used as drag devices to decrease airspeed and/or expedite descent. Always use the ILS and any visual approach aids to maintain glidepath on final.
Three arrival profiles (depicted in the following pages) cover most operations.
The goal in all three is the same: to be stabilized in landing configuration by 1000 feet AGL on a normal glidepath to the runway.
Straight In Profile
The altitude/distance/speed/configuration gates depicted represent an optimum glidepath to the runway from 10,000 feet.
High Downwind Profile
Use gear, flaps 15, idle thrust, and extension of base turn to roll out on final intercepting the straight in glidepath and remaining arrival gates.
