FO sets DH/DA?

[SKeller 5]

Hi Bryan,

I was wondering if the following behaviour is intended: During his descent flow, the F/O always switches the minimums selector from RADIO to BARO on the EFIS panel. I'm using SOP1 and prior to descent I set the selector to RADIO, enter the DH on FS2Crew's APP page, but once I call "Let's start setting up for the descent", the F/O switches back to BARO.

I'm pretty sure this was not the case in the NGX version, and according to page 22 of the NGXu SOP1 Tutorial, the F/O should leave this switch alone, shouldn't he?

No big deal at all, I just wanted to check if that's on purpose or if I missed something.

Thanks and best regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

What approach type have you selected on the FS2Crew approach brief page?

Hi Stefan,

That's because it assumes you're flying a CAT 1 ILS... which uses Decision Altitude (Baro).

If you want to use RADIO (Decision Height), select "AUTOLAND" for the approach type in the briefing page.

Thanks a lot Bryan, will try that.

Works like a treat with "Autoland". Thanks!
