# VNAV landing — part 1

> VNAV landing — part 1: conditions, actions and checks for the Boeing 737-800.

Use this procedure when its prerequisites apply. Confirm each required aircraft state before acknowledging the corresponding checklist item.

## General

Use LNAV or VOR/LOC as required by the assigned VNAV approach. Establish the identified FAF and the correct along-approach distance before applying the 2-NM-before-FAF group. Distance to the airport is not an equivalent condition.

Set the assigned DA(H)/MDA(H)-related MCP target using its applicable numerical value and reference. Before using the second-page condition **Below 300 ft missed approach altitude**, obtain its explicit interpretation. Do not substitute 300 ft AGL, radio altitude, or an inferred arithmetic rule.

This is the supplied VNAV landing procedure. Use the assigned landing-continuation procedure after approach configuration.

### 1. Roll mode — **Lnav or vor/loc**

Select LNAV or VOR/LOC as required by the assigned approach. Verify the appropriate active and armed lateral-mode indications.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **Expected response:** LNAV or VOR/LOC
>
> **Verification:** Require the mode intended by the approved branch, not just an illuminated button.

### 2. At 2 NM before FAF: MCP altitude, DA(H) or MDA(H) — **Set**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

At 2 NM before the identified FAF, set the assigned DA(H) or MDA(H)-related MCP target. Use the applicable approach datum and numerical value.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** Set
>
> **Verification:** Verify the correct target value/reference and the actual FAF-relative event.

### 3. At 2 NM before FAF: Landing gear lever — **Down**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

When the stated condition is satisfied, select the landing gear lever DOWN. Verify the required lever position and gear indications.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** Down
>
> **Verification:** For DOWN, verify the required safe indications; for UP/OFF, require actual lever and gear-state evidence appropriate to that command.

### 4. At 2 NM before FAF: Landing gear indicator — **3 green**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

Observe three independent green/safe gear indications.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** 3 green
>
> **Verification:** Require valid safe indications for nose, left and right gear using the applicable lamp decoding.

### 5. At 2 NM before FAF: Flap lever — **15**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

When the stated condition is satisfied, select 15. Verify the required lever detent and actual flap/slat configuration.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** 15
>
> **Verification:** Verify the chosen lever detent and the required actual flap/slat configuration.

### 6. At 2 NM before FAF: Engine start switches — **Cont**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

Select both engine start switches CONT. Verify both rotary-switch positions. These switches are separate from the fuel/start levers.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** CONT
>
> **Verification:** Require both applicable rotary-switch states.

### 7. At 2 NM before FAF: Speedbrake lever — **Arm**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

Set the speedbrake lever to ARM. Use the applicable lever-detent conversion and verify the required position.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** Arm
>
> **Verification:** Confirm the required lever detent and, for ARM, the separate SPEEDBRAKE ARMED indication.

### 8. At 2 NM before FAF: SPEEDBRAKE ARMED indicator — **Illuminate**

**Condition:** At 2 NM before FAF.

Verify the distinct SPEEDBRAKE ARMED annunciator is illuminated after the arming step.

> **Checks and evidence**
>
> **When:** At 2 NM before FAF.
>
> **Expected response:** Illuminate
>
> **Verification:** Require the actual ARMED lamp, not merely a lever/control ratio.
