Bored and Emb,

Just from reading previous post by both in other areas, I'm "assuming" you're both former QX Q400 drivers?

I ask because I started reviewing Colgan's SOP in the NTSB docket...from what their SOP calls on an approach with verticle guidance, it says they are to be configured and "Before Landing" checklist complete no later than 1nm to the FAF.

Sounds to me like they are getting the airplane too slow before starting down on the GS...

Any opinions?
