A great majority of accidents occur in approach and landing. Feeder airports without precision approach equipments require that instrument landings be made by flight crews by following non-precision approach procedures. On the basis of calculation of minimum OCA (obstacle clearance altitude) and with the example of the non-precision approach procedure of Yichun Airport, this paper dwells upon the techniques of flight crews' aircraft altitude control and safe landing during final approach to enhance, to the greatest degree, safety level of non-precision approach.
