VDP can refer to two different things depending on the context:
-
In aviation, VDP stands for Visual Descent Point. It is a defined point on the final approach course of a non-precision straight-in approach procedure from which normal descent from the Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) to the runway touchdown point may be commenced, provided the approach threshold of that runway, or approach lights, or other markings identifiable with the approach end of that runway are clearly visible to the pilot. VDPs are only published for straight-in instrument approaches to specific runways, and if your approach has one, you shouldnt descend below MDA prior to reaching the VDP. If published, the Visual Descent Point (VDP) is identified with a “V” on the vertical profile of many approach plates. Pilots can also calculate it manually using a specific equation.
-
In the automotive industry, VDP stands for Vehicle Display Page or Vehicle Detail Page. It is the page that displays the car specifications, details, images, and other information on the website of a dealership. Each car has an individual VDP, which contains all necessary information about the vehicle buyers need before making the purchase – technical specifications, details, images, videos, consumer reviews, etc. .
