Help needed for final approach.

Featured Replies

Hi all,A little help needed.Aircraft seems to "flare" about 300-400 feet before touchdown. At that phase I have to give a lot of input to point aircraft's nose down otherwise I will overfly the whole runway.Upon touch down the "alt hold" on the PFD is displayed and the warning sound is heard. Any clue what is going wrong? Thanks,Christos

Did you activate autoland or just approach mode on a single autopilot?

Just approach mode on single autopilot. Christos

Or, I disengage the autopilot and handfly it from about 600 ft to touchdown. Christos

What altitude did you entered in the altitude window upon final approach?

I am not sure, must had entered 300 ft.But autopilot was off, why would there be a problem in reading the altitude? Christos

That's weird, especially with the autopilot off.

I think a bit more info could help. Alt hold doesn't just engage out of nothing. What modes were armed/active beforehand? FD, AT, AP status? What do you mean the aircraft "flared" at 400 feet? During autoland the aircraft will mistrim at that altitude, but yet stay on G/S. This is only for a potential G/A. sig.gif

Did you input the airport altitude on the pedestal? I am not sure it is required for hand landing, but it sure is for autoland (I thiink -otherwise how is the AP supposed to know where the runway is?). henri
