Puzzled with approach into Innsbruck

Featured Replies

Hi people. I'm following tutorial 2 of the PMDG 737 and it tells me to select the rwy 26 LLZ approach. However, in my DEP-ARR page, there is no LLZ approach and there is only RNAV, LOC and NDM approaches. I selected LOC approach thinking it was the same thing but when I got to the part where it told me to set the speed at OEV18, I got lost. There was no OEV18 on my legs page and There was a hold at Rattenburg which I couldn't remove. I'm pausing my flight for now, afraid I would mess up and I really need help!

I'm not an expert but someone else may chip in, to delete hold just click delete key then line select next to hold LSK 4 to remove. Or you can click the LSK5 and then click LSK4 to move that waypoint up to remove hold.

 

The LLZ OEV is a fix. click fix on fmc and type OEV select LSK 1 left to input it then below it you have......./......... Type /18 which will put a green fix ring 18nm around the airport/rwy this tells you that you are 18nm out this ring is displayed on your ND, when you fly over the edge of the ring your 18nm fom OEV so set speed then. Your approach should be loc rwy 08.

 

Don't select Tulsi3a unless you came from the north I'm pretty sure the tutorial comes from east though. Also there was something missing in the tutorial and needed fixing ill have a look as I edited my tutorial. Hope this helps a bit. Wayne.

The hold is UNDELETABLE.

If that's the case don't worry it shouldn't go into a hold unless you select it on fmc and confirm anyway.

I think you need to select rwy 08 on fmc that's only a visual approach anyway otherwise it's Rwy26 in real life I think.

I just did RW26 this evening (coincidently) and in the FMC it shows LLZ26.  I think your AIRAC cycle may be older (or maybe newer).  You can check it here...  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\NavData\cycle_info.txt   I currently have cycle 1212.  You can confirm this by looking at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\SIDSTARS\LOWI.txt...

 

APPROACHES
APPROACH LLZ26......

Hi,

nowadays there is a RNAV (RNP) approach at rwy 26 LOWI. To perform that you should, at least, know basics about RNAV/RNP approaches. By summarizing they're kind of approaches based on GPS and (eventually DME/DME or VOR/dme area navigation position updating) the FMC of your B737 can then "build" a fictive glide path and loc path and it can be shown on your FD like an ILS based approach BUT your navigation performance must be into the limits required by RNAV/RNP approach chosen (usually 0,3 miles of circular probability error of position: that means that your ANP: Actual Navigation Performance that you can read on your ND must be BETTER or at least EQUAL to that required by the approach procedure) AND you can follow that procedure by autopilot and/ot manual by using LNAV/VNAV mode ONLY. In particular LOWI rwy 26 RNAV app requires you disengage on your FMC the VOR/DME position update because being the position calculated based on VOR signals less accurate than position calculated by GPS it could interfere with precision required. If you follow the correct procedure RNAV app rwy 26 LOWI it's a "piece of cake".

If you want read more about RNAV/RNP approaches you can start by RNAV voice in wikipedia.

The thing is, the tutorial tells me to use the LLZ approach.


I have Cycle 1310. This is my LOWI.txt file.

The thing is, the tutorial tells me to use the LLZ approach.

 

The thing is, the tutorial was written 2 years ago.  If your nav data doesn't match, then you can't expect to be able to follow it exactly.

But I don't know how to set things correctly and I can't continue with my flight from there.

Isn't the chart in the tutorial document?

Yes, but it tells me to set a speed restriction at OEV18 and I have no idea where it is!!!!!

Find where the chart has a speed restriction...

 

EDIT:

Tutorials are meant for you to take the concepts from them and apply them to other flights.  Take the concept of what it's talking about and apply it to whatever is different.  Things will be different every flight.  If you expect them to be exact, you're setting yourself up for failure.

 

Look at how they applied the concept in the picture/tutorial and apply it as you see fit by reading the chart.

 

Part of the reason pilots are still up front in the plane is that they have to apply their own best judgment from time to time.  That requires thinking for yourself.

Okay...

Hi Justin,

I reccomend you to update your LOWI's chart, and, of course, your FMC's database, (i.e. by navigraph service, both charts and database) and study anything about RNAV/RNP approaches, I can assure you that RNAV RWY 26 LOWI APP it's simpler than the old LLZ procedure...

 

Ciao

Hi Justin,

look at smartcockpit website B737 NG section there's a good socument regarding RNAV/RNP written by Capt. Bill Royce: Senior Technical Pilot Flight Operations Training, Technical and Standards at Boeing.

 

Happy studying!

 

Best Regards

Andrea Buono
