Alessio75 3 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi, during NPA I have the following issue. When I press trk button on FCU and I select the glide angle, I read FPA xx° on PFD - ok it's right. But as I pass through a previous displayed altitude in FCU (ie 3000 ft) the PFD indication changes to ALT●. I need to press for level off and select again the path angle to have back FPA xx°. Is it a correct behaviour? Thanks for comments about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 You need to press APPR mode button first so the aircraft knows not to level off at the FCU selected altitude then you can use FPA all the way down to minimums correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio75 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thank you for your reply. But what is the procedure during a selected/selected NPA? Should I press aprr button as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 For selected NPA don't press APPR, at 0.3 NM before the FAF set the desired flight path angle and PULL the knob. The aircraft will not level off at FCU altitude if you do this. Also make sure you have activated the approach phase in the FMGC before starting the approach.
