But this is an LNAV only approach, so while the GP might be too steep, all that does is get me to the MDA a bit sooner. What seems odd here is that at this airport, the FMS doesn't seem to be using the ARP as the aiming point. Just something that needs to be fixed by the ATR dev...... If you're doing a dive and drive approach and there aren't any intermediate at or above constraints, then getting down to MDA earlier isn't a problem. But if you're doing a CDFA approach (as almost all airlines operating an ATR would be), then getting down early doesn't work either. Yeah, sounds like a definite bug for the ATR dev. I've never used the plane but this sounds really significant; I'm pretty surprised it took this long for someone to call it out! Andrew Crowley

I didn't find a contact in Hans' profile but would suggest opening a ticket with Aerosoft who may - or may not - transfer your issue report to him. Kind regards, Michael Thanks for the tip, Michael!
August 17, 20232 yr Author Created a thread over at Aerosoft and tagged him, hopefully he sees it and responds.

Aerosoft seems to go further and further down South. Shouldn't they be glad someone provides a detailed analysis?

Kind regards, Michael I noticed in other posts from Hans that he has a username for personal requests for support, so I just messaged him. Hopefully he sees it. Nochmal vielen dank, Michael.
August 17, 20232 yr Author I think its systemic with the ATR, ILS approaches don't work either. I just flew the ISL 08 to SJU and would have landed in downtown San Juan had I not disconnected it and hand-flown it. I think it's VNAV in its entirety that's the problem. So I've reached out to Hans directly, filed a Zendesk ticket with MSFS, and requested reinstatement to the MSFS forums so I can post about this there, but they will most assuredly tell me to go fly a kite. So we are where we are. Too bad, because it's a great airplane. Time to dust off the 738! Edited August 17, 20232 yr by mryan75

Nochmal vielen dank, Michael. Aerosoft has always had the attitude, " if the aircraft we sell you breaks in half, you get to keep both halves". 😉
