May 12, 20179 yr Hi, I understand the LNAV/VNAV approaches are made in the GPS mode. Should the 'Glide Slope' be armed to capture? I have tried a couple GPS approaches and the glide slope is active but the AP does not follow the glide slope descent commanded by the GPS. Thank you in advance. Bob Bob Prince
May 12, 20179 yr Hi Bob, Yep - you should have Glide Slope armed... I don't know your experience - so no offense if you already know - some GPS approaches have vertical guidance and others do not - are you sure the GPS approach you are flying is a precision GPS approach with vertical guidance ??? My home airport (KMSV) has a precision GPS approach on 15 (glide slope) - while the other end 33 is non-precision (no glide slope) - both being GPS/RNAV approaches... I haven't tried the 2.9 release yet - so theoretically there could be a new issue we're not aware of yet... If so inclined - maybe as a test try the GPS/RNAV/LPV into 15 at KMSV as I've flown it countless times with 2.8 and it worked every time... I usually hit the glide slope capture button when aligned on the final approach course... Regards, Scott
May 13, 20179 yr Hi Bob, Tested version 2.9 - all appears to be working as advertised - good glide slope capture... Regards, Scott
May 15, 20179 yr Author Hi Scott, Thank you for the reply, I was aware of the Approach requirements and may have misread the plate. Thanks. Bob Bob Prince
