. Use of inappropriate technique to recover the descent profile.

V Summary of Key Points The following key points should be emphasized during transition training and line training as well as during line checks and line audits:

. Timeliness of descent and approach preparation;

. Strict adherence to SOPs for FMS setup;

. Cross-check of all data entries by both crewmembers;

. Use of PFD, ND and FMS CDU to support and illustrate the descent, approach and go-around briefings;

. Confirmation of FMS navigation accuracy, before deciding the use of automation (i.e., use of FMS modes or selected modes) and of associated monitoring cues  (e.g. ND Rose NAV or Rose VOR, needles, VDEV, …) for the descent and approach;

. Review of terrain information and other approach hazards; and,

. Guidelines for descent planning, monitoring and adjustment.

VI Associated Flight Operations Briefing Notes The following Flight Operations Briefing Notes may be referred to for a complete overview of the procedures, operational recommendations and techniques involved in the conduct of the descent and approach:

. Conducting Effective Briefings

. Aircraft Energy Management during Approach

. Flying Stabilized Approaches

. Being Prepared for Go-around

VII Regulatory References

. ICAO – Procedures for Air navigation Services – Aircraft Operations (PANS-OPS, Doc 8168), Volume I – Flight procedures
