VOR approach- when to descend from the FAF
When flying a VOR approach in which the FAF is defined by the VOR, is
it appropriate to start the descent to the MAP, or next stepdown, immediately after overflying the VOR or should I wait until I have positive course guidance for the final approach segment? I ask because it can sometimes take 1-2nm for the CDI to move, which may require a rushed descent to the MAP on some approaches. |
