Arrival setup in cruise

Weather and NOTAMs

Review destination weather, runway condition, expected arrival and any changes to the clearance.

Check the approach

Confirm the procedure, runway, transition and minimums on the chart. Select or revise the arrival in the FMS if required.

Arrival route proposal

Inspect the legs, constraints and map geometry before activating a change. Check the active route after activation.

Landing performance

Review expected landing weight and configure the landing page and speeds for the actual variant and planned flap setting.

Brief the path

Discuss or mentally review the descent, approach source, final guidance, runway, stopping plan and missed approach.

Fuel and alternate

Compare current fuel and destination prediction with the plan. Consider delays and the alternate rather than waiting until final approach. ^[24]
