Good afternoon,

I need to understand fully this HGS on the radio panel.

In the MODE what means PRI,AIII,IMC,VMC?

STBY what means IMC,VMC,AIII ARM

RWY and G/S is ok.

I want to make fully auto landings using ILS.

Thank you for your kind attention,

Jean Paul

yea all you got to do is google hgs or something similiar and it will bring the same thing up that how i found this doc

These modes only affect what you see on HGS. This is not really required to do an autoland.

 

MODE means which mode is currently active and shown on HGS.

SBY means which mode you get when you push MODE button once. I *think* AIII ARM will make AIII mode active automatically when you pass some basic requirements (mainly that you are stable on approach and both radios are set for ILS - as is normal for autoland.

 

There are several modes:

PRI - is basically a PFD representation, with some minor differences, such as flight path vector being a primary component rather than attitude airplane symbol, and FD thingy is coupled to FPV not airplane symbol.

VMC is a decluttered view for visual approaches. It shows more basic information, for ex. it has no speed tape and altitude tape, only current and preselected indications, has no compass, but it has landing glidepath indication (normally 3° under horizon)

IMC is basically same as IMC, but has some more indications for instrument approaches.

AIII is again similar to IMC, but has some more extra data that allow for very low visibility precision manual approach, most notably, it will display runway outline and then rollout guidance after touchdown.

Sorry for the link, and I do remember the earlier post...my mistake. Can't edit my post now, however.

Good morning,

Thank you Fabo and sorry for the delay due to time zone!

So now it is clear. HGS is not a must for autoland. Kind of snake oil!:-)

Have a good day.

Oooh, nice manual, thanks!!

I have one question, is the elevation and runway length in metric or imperial? or does it depend on what setting you have set in the fmc equipment options?

Pretty sure it's always imperial (on the real unit too).

 

Please sign your name to your posts here, it's a forum rule.

SAS uses different units with meters instead of feet in RL though.

So maybe an option for this could be a nice addition to the NGX.

Hi!

Does anyone know how to zoom out the information in the hgs display, 737 ngx?

It is too big, and i want to make the info in the screen smaller.

It's projected into infinity, I don't think you can selectively zoom it out (it will get smaller along with everything else if you zoom out your whole view though)

Is anyone able to get runway remaining to display on the hgs for landing?

Hi Guys, You should check out youtube, just type how to land pmdg 737 in google.
