Title: Re: How to make an approach + autoland ? Post by greg765 on Jul 14th, 2010 at 2:25pm
Thanks for your answer Tim :)
Yes, I am using navigraph data for my approaches.(Airac 1007, the last one) ------------- Questions : 1/So when I arrive on the T/D (STAR already selected), I've seen on the video that I must set the altitude of the next WP in the glareshield. Is it really necessary ? Because at this time, I am still in VNAV and LNAV, so I shouldn't need it, no ? Why do I have to enter the altitude of each WP ? Wouldn't it be better to directly enter an altitude of around 2500ft for the loc intercept ? 2/Must I tune the frequency of the ILS manually when approaching, or is it automatic ? 3/How do I know when the LOC/GLIDE are intercepted by my plane ? ------------- So, if I understand what you said (I'm French and bad in English so I want to be sure to understand well), when approaching the runway, to intercept the ILS (LOC first),I must : reduce my speed to Vref+30 (with spd button on the glareshield, is that correct ?), set flaps around 15,and have an altitude of 2500ft(Altitude hold of 2500 in the Glareshield, is that correct ?).Then, I must push on LOC and the plane will automatically align with the runway.Then, flying towards the runway, I must push on "Appr" button, the plane should capture the glide path of ILS, and all I have is slow down to Vref+5, set flaps in landing configuration (as given in FMC), lower the gear, arm spoilers and that's all.Is that it ? Am I wrong somewhere ? Thanks for your answers , that's nice :) |
