Land of Confusion

Approach to Rwy 12 at KMIA. FMS and HSI don’t agree. FMS indicates no holds and no discontinuities while the HSI indicates a hold at GLR02 and disco between GLR02 and GLRIA per attached image. Which way did the planr go? You figure it out. It’s not consistent. I have had the 752 fly the FMS and at other times it flies the HSI.

Michael,

I have had the same problem and I don't use the flight planer. I sometimes get ghost way points after I have built the plan and then go to DEPT/ARR to select an approach. This would happen in the real plane from time to time and that is why it is so important to select the PLAN view on the HSI and review the route.

In your example, did you try selecting GLR02 into the scratch pad and then putting it back on top of GLR02 (LS2/LS2). Sometimes that would get rid of the ghost which in your example has no name. Or you could hit the DEL button and then LS2. Then type in GLR02 and insert it under SSCOT. Or even bring GLRIA under SSCOT thus collapsing the route (LS3/LS2) and then just adding GLR02 LS2 and closing the discontinuity. Most times that would work in the real beast!  Shocked

It looks like your example is an up-dated Pegasus version of the original Boeing computer program.
I only have the first version of the 757 - no up-dates.

The more I look at that HSI the more messed up it looks. The dotted green ring is a 20 mile circle around KMIA. The waypoint names are not next to the waypoint symbols. GLR02 is PBD waypoint at around 20 miles from the airport so I don't believe there is a ghost waypoint unless it is right before the runway. If you look at the chart for ILS RWY 12 at KMIA, GLRIA is 16.8, PIANA is 10.8 and VEPCO is 7.6 mile from the runway. The last two symbols of the HSI, right before and right after the airport do not appear on the approach plate.

Anyway the plane flew the FMS not the HSI. However, I did a flight to the same runway several weeks ago with vectors from the south and it flew to GLRIA rather than GLR02 even though GLR02 was the next waypoint in the FMS. Oh well. what can you say. There is always heading select.

Heading select indeed!

Or... press the A/P disconnect.
Or... cancel the ILS and go VHF!  Grin
