Canpa
 
How may of you are doing CANPA, (Constant Angle Non Precision Approach), procedures? It kinda makes the idea of transition to a LOC impossible. I would still not have switched to the loc if we were still doing dive and drive approaches but I thought I'd throw this in for discussion.

Haven't heard that term but are you referring to RNAV like approaches where the MDA is replaced by a DA and you never level off at the "DA" but land or go missed as in an ILS?

If so, the whole purpose of those approaches is to make sure you don't have to do the dive & drive LOC approaches. Safer, quieter and easier to fly. In a nutshell you're converting a non-prec. approach to a prec. approach.
