Which feature is not included in the decision-making process for a non-precision approach?

In the context of non-precision approaches, glideslope information is not included in the decision-making process. Non-precision approaches do not utilize a glideslope, which is a key feature of precision approaches that provides vertical guidance to pilots. Instead, non-precision approaches rely on lateral navigation, typically using navigational aids such as localizers or VORs, and the pilot must manage their approach to maintain the correct descent path manually, rather than relying on vertical guidance like a glideslope.

For non-precision approaches, the final approach fix (a defined point in space that signifies the start of the final approach phase), minimums (the minimum altitude or visibility required to continue the approach), and visible approach aids (like markers, lights, or runway visual range indicators) are essential features. These elements help pilots determine when to begin their final descent, assess safety during the approach, and ensure they can land safely without dedicated vertical guidance.
