I'm feeling stupid but if I enable VNAV in the Daher / G3000 will the AP take me down to the waypoint at the desired decent rate or is it just informational?

Seems I need to set ALT / VS regardless.

Thanks

I think it might be advisory only for the 3000 at the moment.

Don’t quote me on this but I believe if you set ALT to the bottom of descent altitude then enable VNV it will follow the waypoint / descent path.

Need to use V/S

I'm not sure if WT have worked on VNAV yet. It is probably default still and not working properly. I could be wrong.

Greazer.

Here guys.  It was added a while back.

 

Release Highlights

• Added support for advisory VNAV guidance. The FMS can now calculate VNAV descent profiles and provide information on top of descent, bottom of descent, required vertical speed, and vertical path deviation. The autopilot still does not support V PATH mode.
• Enabled entry of custom VNAV altitude restrictions for approach legs in the active flight plan.
• Added measurement unit options (gallons, liters, pounds, kilograms) for fuel display fields. (Note that these do not apply to EICAS).
• Fixed a bug that prevented editing of the active flight plan under certain circumstances (specifically if you start a flight from the world map after you select a procedure, then delete the origin/destination tied to that procedure without first removing the procedure).

It does not.

...not yet..   The WT G1000 nxi already does this, and I would expect the G3000 to follow.

They said it will, but not for a while yet.  The NXis are first.  Yes, the NXi's have coupled VPTH, the 3000s DO NOT...repeat...DO NOT...lol.  See above post.  Linked directly from their site.  ADVISORY ONLY for the 3000s.
