F4RIO 2 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 As I commenced the final portion of the Rwy 13 IGS approach to VHHX I pressed the V/S FPA button and then APPR (LS not engaged). I then noticed "LS" (landing speed?) flashing amber on the PFD. The a/c flew the approach as expected. Can't find a reference to "LS". What does the LS annunciation mean and why was it on? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted July 1, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 1, 2020 You had to push the LS button below baro, next to FD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4RIO 2 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Doh! I knew that :-). For some reason I wasn't thinking that an IGS approach is a type of ILS approach. Also interestingly this morning I watched a video on Youtube of an A320 autoland in a simulator made by a pilot training company posted in 2012. In that simulator the LS button is actually labeled "ILS". I wonder if Airbus changed the label at some point. Anyway, thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
