AN AIR CARRIER FLT CREW FLEW A LOC APPROACH INTO MSP THAT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE ACR.

Narrative

WE DO NOT HAVE APCH PLATES FOR THE RWYS IN USE. LNDG MSP. WX ON ATIS WAS 10 SM FEW 015 BROKEN 032 BROKEN 250. VISUAL APCH RWY 22. VISUAL APCH RWY 17. RWYS 12R; 30L CLOSED. THE ONLY APCH PLATES WE HAVE FOR RWYS 22 AND 17 ARE LOC RWY 22 AND LOC RWY 17. WE WERE ASSIGNED RWY 22; ON RADAR VECTORS. WE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH WHAT TO PUT IN THE FMGC FOR AN APCH. THE ONLY CHOICES WERE THE CF22; AND THE LOC RWY 22. BECAUSE IT WAS VFR; WE CHOSE CF22. AT APPROX 4000 FT AND JUST A FEW DEGS OFF THE INBOUND COURSE; WE WERE CLRED FOR THE LOC RWY 22. WE WERE IMC; SO WE CHANGED THE APCH IN THE FMGC TO LOC RWY 22; WENT DIRECT SNELL IN NAV; AND DSNDED TOWARD 2600 FT (SNELL XING HT) IN VERT SPD. WE SAW THE RWY BEFORE 3000 FT; AND COMPLETED A VISUAL APCH TO LNDG. THE CONFLICT IS THAT OUR ACR PLTS ARE NOT AUTH TO FLY A LOC APCH YET; ALTHOUGH WE ARE TRAINED TO DO SO. WE NEED RNAV APCHS FOR THESE 2 RWYS; BECAUSE RWY 12R/30L IS BEING REPAVED; AND WILL BE CLOSED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME; SO RWY 22/17 CONFIGN WILL BE USED EXTENSIVELY. WE NEEDED TO CHOOSE LOC RWY 22 IN THE FMGC; AND WE ARE NOT AUTH TO FLY LOC APCHS YET. WE EXPECTED TO; AND WERE ABLE TO LAND VISUALLY. PLEASE PUBLISH RNAV RWY 22 AND RNAV RWY 17 APCHS FOR MSP.
