Fab10 34 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, I'm really enjoying the AXE, thank you for an excellent and well supported product. Could someone tell me please whether an Airbus is able to show on the ND a descent point (dot or arc?) which indicates the point at which the aircraft will reach the FCU set altitude at the present VS / ROD? This is useful for instance when descending to uncontrolled airports without published approaches, or for ATC request compliance. I have no issues working out descent planning, I'm just looking for some indicator on the Airbus ND. Last night I completed a EGPB Sumburgh VOR/DME RW15, so here the obvious answer is to enter the FL into the MCDU; that's fine, but it raised the question I'm asking (and yes, the A320 isn't the perfect a/c for EGPB, but it's good skills practice!). I'm asking the many Airbus experts here for help as I cannot find an (obvious) answer anywhere; the transition from Boeing to Airbus is trickier than I'd anticipated, but oh-so worthwhile!

Emi 5161 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The real one yes, ours not (yet). We're thinking about adding it lateron though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffron91 26 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I hope thinking about it will change quickly in to actually going to add it. That's only one of the critical features still missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 12, 2013 Aerosoft Share Posted January 12, 2013 I hope thinking about it will change quickly in to actually going to add it. That's only one of the critical features still missing It's also a rather hard to get right feature, but as said we are discussing it. But keep in mind that we never intended to do a full systems simulation, we rather made a 'wider' then a 'deeper' product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab10 34 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, Thanks for the reply. This feature would certainly be appreciated by me, and, it appears, by many others. It's a small yet significant item, but one that's already missed by many. Again, thanks for a truly excellent product. Best wishes, Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
