atsbob Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So I am attempting to land in KSAN and noticed the glide angle on the RNAV is 3.50 and not the usual 3.00. Is there a way to change this so that I descend correctly? I was in cruise setting up the approach information and put in 3.50 in LSK 6R and it entered final approach mode. Whoops. Messed up my whole descent profile. All the tutorials I've seen cover 3.00 so I'm still not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexair Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I didn't try an RNAV yet with the A310, but I believe it is in the window with the DH, you have the option to display and select the FPA the same way you set the DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh that makes sense. Will give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshF Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 You cannot adjust the angle of the glideslope on an RNAV Overlay approach in the A310. It pulls it from the sim's nav database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexair Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Oh ok, then the FPA is only for manual descent then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshF Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Yes FPA is guidance only, you cannot tell the AP to follow the bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
