Airbus 330-200
STRATEGY FOR VISUAL NIGHT APPROACH
APPROACH SPEED TECHNIQUE
In all cases, the crew should use managed speed.
The standard speed technique is to make a stabilized approach using AP/FD and A/THR : The aircraft intercepts the final descent path in landing configuration, and at VAPP. For this purpose, the flight crew should insert VAPP as a speed constraint at the FAF.

AIRCRAFT AVOID airspace that has volcanic ash as it can wreck the flight ability of propeller and jet aircraft. The ash is so fine that it will invade the spaces between rotating machinery and jam them – silica in ash melts at about 1,100 degrees and fuses to turbine blades and nozzle guide vanes (another part of the turbine assembly), which in modern aircraft operate at 1,400 degrees.
