July 9, 201114 yr I have problem with RNAV &/or VOR approaches. I use the latest AIRAC(1107), when i go to STAR menu, i can choose RNAV (ex:VORD10 for TNCM) i put 701 in MIN PROF as it requiered the DA in chart. But i'm always too high to reach the runway.The fixs are matching to the RNAV procedure (speed & ALT). If i try on MHTG, the FMS says error on altitude &/or speed when crossing fixs. I search on many forums, but didn't find the right answer.My goal is to make VOR&RNAV approaches "like" ILS, in this case, Glideslope will be replaced by following fixs(speed&ALT) Could you please explain the right procedures & adjustments in the FMS for these RNAV approaches : for example over TNCM(VORD10) and MHTG(RNAV02)? Thank you for answer. Richard MONNIN
July 9, 201114 yr Hi Richard,If I understand what you're trying to achieve then the problem is with the altitudes at the runway point. For TNCM it's still 701ft. The AP will just hold you at 701ft (or thereabouts) so you'll end up high. Same problem with the MHTG one (worse in fact as you're commanding a climb).There's a very simple way to fly these approaches. Disengage the autopilot. It's OK, it doesn't bite. Best Regards, Dan Parkin.
