Night approach & landing RNP RWY 35 at Porto (OPO/LPPR) Boeing 737-800 Cockpit View [4K]

This video shows the approach from base leg to final approach and landing of the RNP/RNAV procedure for runway 35 at Porto Airport (OPO/LPPR) at night! The RNP procedure is the preferred procedure for runway 35 as the runway does not have an Instrument Landing System (ILS) on this side. Alternatively we can fly a VOR approach on runway 35.
Enjoy!

I noticed your minimums were set to 530 which are the minimums for LNAV/VNAV. Why have you not used the LPV minimums (480ft)? does the 737-800 not have the capability to fly such approaches?

[@AviaView]

We don't have LPV capability and therefore are not allowed/approved to fly RNP approaches with LPV minima, hence we use the LNAV/VNAV minima as the next lowest DA.

Was this flight from MAN-OPO?

Would you have been allowed to fly Raw Data(AP off/FD Recycled with no Modes/A/THR off) earlier if you wanted to? (Let's say at 0:26 in the video)

[@AviaView]

We are allowed to fly this approach manually (no A/P and A/T), however we are not allowed to fly approaches without F/D off. We are encouraged to maximise the use of Autopilot and Autothrottle for various reasons. Only the final part we have to recycle the F/D as they might not give good guidance below minimums because of FMC RWY point and/or glide path angle coding.
