March 28, 20188 yr https://imgur.com/a/y2uGf I thought it was either LOC/GS, or FAC/GP? Why would there be a "partial" ILS system? Or did I do something wrong...again? Robert A. JonesIntel i7800, NVIDIA GTX 1070, Corsair 4x8GB DDR4 2666, 1+2TB WD Black, Gigabyte Z370 HD3 R1.0.
March 28, 20188 yr I've gotten that on occasion and never fully understood why, but I suspect that by staying in VNAV mode the predicted vertical path never intersects the GS. Basically what you got here is a GPS-overlayed ILS approach. The way I avoid this is to not use VNAV in the terminal area, which is realistic for most terminals. Of course there are cases where VNAV and GS intersect nicely (KLAX) so it's not a rule for all occasions. Dan Downs KCRP
March 28, 20188 yr According to the FCOM (vol 2, pages 4.20.20 & 21), you will get this indication if there is a localiser but no glideslope signal, so IAN provides the glidepath guidance. Which approach was it? It might be an ILS according to your navdata, but a LOC-DME in FSX. Selecting G/S OFF on FMC ARRIVALS or APPROACH REF page will also cause LOC/G/P to be annunciated.

March 28, 20188 yr Author I think it was the 08L at LFPG, and come to think of it I probably saw VDM08L on the FMC and didn't really know what it was, so I presumed it to be ILS-esque. Robert A. JonesIntel i7800, NVIDIA GTX 1070, Corsair 4x8GB DDR4 2666, 1+2TB WD Black, Gigabyte Z370 HD3 R1.0.
