No ILS GS Capture on Final


Tundrabum01

Recommended Posts

I've just completed my 5th flight on the 319.  I'm an Airbus newbie, coming from years of Boeing's, Dash 8's and CRJ's, and decided very similar from going from Windows computers to Apples (a Mars Venus sort of thing.).  However, had my best flight last night but with one recurring problem.  On approach, everything goes great until final.  The ILS Loc captures and the lateral path is established,  the GS needle descends, but the aircraft fly's right through it.  I then have to descend manually with the V/S control, which is no problem, the GS path is normally around a negative .06 or so.  However this has happened multiple airport approaches, and I'm sure I am missing a setting or procedure.  Any illumination on this topic would be appreciated!   (And yes I am very careful to follow the procedures and watched several youtube videos).

Have seen this also on one of my 5-6 flights with the Airbus Professional so far. This was for sure no problem in the handling, but even with pressed APP button, the Airbus didn't descent.

It was on the A319 CFM on approach to runway 26R in EDDM with Taxi2Gate Munich. Never seen this issue on any of the older Airbusses before. So I think darrel didn't do anything wrong.

I get this when I try to do a RNAV approach.

I have unpressed FD, pushed APR and selected AP2+AP1. The brick descends and then goes straight pass the actual altitude without the plane responding. It remains at the selected alt.

Tried it many times. works OK using an ILS
