VOR Approaches

Featured Replies

HiI was hoping someone could suggest a good reference to learn VOR approaches in the NGX, ideally a youtube video. I have searched but not found anything great.I can perform a VOR approach in the MD-11 as I learnt from AOA videos but not sure how to do it in the NGX yet.Any suggestions much appreciated thanks

Not sure if the procedures differ by much in general. In fact I just tried two of those approaches in a row, a joy to hand fly if you stay focused hehe. Are you talking about airline procedures using LNAV/VNAV or do you want to try raw data...? Cause that's what I did, just for the heck of it. Still there was no great difference to flying it in a G/A prop for example. In fact it's even less difference since you'd usually only have an HSI there as well - not talking Garmin Perspective or Entegra Release 9 here of course. So I suggest to use full VOR mode on the ND and know your radio setup... Intercept at flaps no less than 5, the final descent is then similar to an ILS (I would assume) - FAF or just before: gear down, flap 15. If you're on the usual 5.24% slope, aim for about GS*5 as your ROD (although when doing the math I think it as GS/2 and add a zero, but that's just me), usually around 700-800 fpm, just as usual. Prepare for the aerodynamic effects during flap extension. One potential change however, if your chart shows MDA, I'd instead change that to some sort of DDA, add 50' and go around at that point should you not see the runway. Do not level at MDA and try to reach the MAP, a landing from there would most likely not be a wise (let alone beautiful) thing to do. You can do that in your 2000 lbs prop but please don't in this 60 ton piece of metal.sig.gif
