POSITION/FLIGHT PATHMONITOR

Monitor VDEV , FPV on PFD

and XTK error (on the ND).

Use altitude indication versus

distance to the runway to
monitor the vertical navigation.

If the vertical guidance is unsatisfactory, revert to FPA

FPA NAV or consider the go-around.
If the lateral guidance is unsatisfactory, perform a go-around.
