Once inside FAF what is VSI limit

• A. 1000 fpm
• B. 1500 fpm
• C. 500 fpm
• D. 2000 fpm

Answer: (A)

Inside the Final Approach Fix, you aim to maintain a stable and controlled descent. Setting a maximum vertical speed of 1000 feet per minute keeps you from diving too steeply while you finalize your approach profile, giving you time to verify instruments, align with the runway, and meet altitude restrictions. In normal operations you’ll usually be on a glide path or a gentle descent far below that limit, but staying at or below 1000 fpm provides a safe, consistent bound for the final approach segment. Descent rates much higher than that would make the approach unstable or risk missing altitude constraints, while a rate as low as 500 fpm would be unnecessarily slow for most final segments. So the VSI limit inside the FAF is 1000 fpm.
