Nice landing. Headwind? Just wanted to say that Scandinavian airlines has the HGS installed.

Nope, no headwind!

When I am setup for an ILS landing, I have a question about the AIII mode on the HGS.

 

I will be hand flying the approach, but will have all the ILS dialed in to see where to go on the HGS. A few times through the approach the HSG will switch from guiding me where to go and switch to "NO AIII". When it does this, I have no idea where to go....

 

What causes this?

 

Thanks!

 

When I see that, it's usually cuz I went high or low from the glideslope..

But as I recall, if you see NO AIII, everything else should still be working.

So I'm not sure why you would lose your indications of where to go..

IE: you should still have the ILS indications, and I believe the vector trend indications

should still be working. The only thing that should be changing would be the

AIII or NO AIII display. Or I think anyway. :/ Once I'm "good" for AIII, I usually don't

lose it, even if I'm going off the glideslope a tad.

Humm.. I got one video like that.. VIs is danged near zero.. Flew it in the 600 BBJ I run..

I wanted to see how easy or hard it was to land with near zero vis using the HGS..

Turned out to be pretty danged easy..

I almost always use the HGS.. I play Southwest buoy most of the time, and I use one in

my BBJ also.. I'm spoiled on the thing. The only recent flight I have done where I didn't

use the HGS was an approach and landing at Paro I made a video of a while back.. :/

Ah yes the old game of chase the circle!

 

When I was first trying out the HGS I setup a flight in the FMS from Boeing Field to Moses lake and I had flew the whole thing by chasing the circle, was so easy and perfect! After that I used the HGS for all my approaches and most of my departures, however.....

 

I rarely use it anymore, I always get the feeling I will get soft using it too much so I normally hand fly my approaches and departures directly off instruments. Recently approaching KJFK ATC gave me a Visual rwy 13R approach in less than Ideal visibility (stupid as the other ILS runway were being functioning and being used but oh well) and I felt it was a perfect time to get HGS assistance, worked out great.
