Flight path angle: angle of the descent during all the landing phase.

Recommendations concerning the stabilized constant descent angle approach technique

The SCDA technique involves intercepting and maintaining an optimum descent angle to MDA.

When you’re flying blind, you follow the indicators of KGF to maintain the correct angle and speed of descent.

(ii) VREF with enough power to maintain a 3 degree angle

The location tracking guided container is ejected at an ejection point (146) from the airborne vehicle approximately above the designated location of the target to descend at a descent rate and a descent angle.

The SCDA technique involves intercepting and maintaining an optimum descent angle to MDA, which is used as a decision altitude.

Unlike descending along the optimal path using a stabilized constant descent angle (SCDA), the step down technique puts aircraft at risk of an accident.

The SCDA technique involves intercepting and maintaining an optimum descent angle to MDA.

This innovation includes a single digital video recorder and four cameras: a wide-angle descent imager, a narrow-angle regolith imager, and two wide-angle panoramic imagers.

There are 2 techniques typically used to complete the final descent on a non-precision approach (NPA): step-down descent and final descent on a stabilized constant descent angle (SCDA).

A three-degree angle-of-descent is the typical slope configuration for the final approach to the runway.

At this point, the aircraft was 190 feet AGL, descending at 940 fpm, rather than 320 feet AGL on a standard 3° angle of descent.

Using a height of 46 feet to cross the runway threshold, the resulting descent angle is 1.35°.
