Approach Plate question

[SFCC/UND]

...and if you lose the GS below the LOC MDA?

Put on your parachute and jump out the window? I would go around and shoot the approach LOC. Or you can climb to the MDA if you're time has not expired. But you have to ask yourself a question. Do you feel lucky? Do ya, punk!

I would go around and shoot the approach LOC.

That's the simplest way. If I lose the GS just inside the marker, I'll execute the missed approach procedure and try again using just the LOC. K.I.S.S.

I like the K.I.S.S. method. I, too, used to say time it. Not anymore.

I like KISS also, which is why I time it.

My version of KISS is to hit the timer as I cross the FAF/GSI fix, whether I need to or not (like signaling for a turn at 4 AM on a deserted road).

"Keeping it simple" for me was having one less thing to think about, and one less thing to forget to do when it is needed.
