Approach Type

This document provides an overview of different types of instrument approaches that may be flown, including RNAV, RNAV overlay, FPA guidance, discontinued approaches, glide slope capture from above, and ILS raw data approaches. For each type, it lists the required aircraft setup, points that should be briefed to pilots, how the approach would be flown, and any limitations. It emphasizes monitoring tracks and profiles, setting go-around altitudes, using altitude/distance tables in low visibility, and briefing expectations and corrections to ensure a stabilized approach.
