Hi,

Can you please advise if there is a navdata set that includes IGS13 for Kai Tak?. It would seem that this particular approach and its fixes are missing from the A300 database. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

PS: Great aircraft!

Meant to say "navdata procedures for IGS13". Procedure for ILS RWY31 are included but not so for IGS13

The IGS13 approach is coded as a GPS approach, which the A300 can't fly and is therefore omitted.

When I flew that approach I built the waypoints myself, as they are all in relation to the CH VOR and are easy to do with PBDs 😄

Thank you so much, Nico. What do you mean by PBD’s, is it something like user waypoints?, if so, how are they programmed?

The IGS13 works fine (maybe because of the navdata mod I installed) and CH it’s also present but I have no data whatsoever on the FMC for the arrival to Rwy13. Any ideas?

Yep, exactly, user waypoints.

I dont have the chart around currently, but it would be in this general format: Place/Bearing/Distance so like

CH/180/05

for a waypoint 5nm in a 180° direction from CH.

 

As for the arrival.. That is also probably due to the navdata mod I'm afraid. We currently only support the insim navdata and everything other than that is "use at your own risk"

 

 

Thx Nico, understood. With disused airports, it is al touch and go situation but hopefully you will introduce navigraph's data system to the FMC (I read somewhere that you are considering it) and should be a lot easier then. Meantime, I will try as suggested and see how it goes. By the way, are the user waypoints created in the FMC or are they edited outside the MSFS?.

Actually, the mod I am using is a standalone package from flightsim.to (Kai Tak Intl. Airport (Stock Version) Navdata for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS) that adds the navaids that are VHHX specific. As for the coding for the FMC GPS arrival to RWY13, would this mod have any direct influence in the FMC (I am not sure where the A300 picks up the navdata from)?

A300 just picks up the default insim navdata.

User waypoints are in the FMC, REF --> NEXT PAGE --> WAYPOINTS to create a new one 🙂

Many thanks, Nico. I have now created ISG15, IGS9 and IGS05 in absence of an IGS approach to RWY13 at Kai Tak on the FMC.
