CDI indication
While on this subject; so, with my previous operator we had the following:
Any GNSS, RNP or -AR, passing the FAF, the CDI under the PFD was visible and actually requiered.
I actually did not make of it much until a small discussions on FB about CFI’s teaching GNSS approaches, but my current operator the CDI does not appear during those approaches.
Logic dictates that “full scale CDI deviation” merits a Go-Around (if RNP is 0.3 and you have full scale on CDI you are 0.3NM or more off course/Centerline) but in our SOP’s it shows that the PM is to “monitor closely the lateral deviation” and nothing else...
Under the circumstances at my new operator it would NOT surprise me if they just too ignorant or simply don’t want to pay Airbus for the approval and made this **** up... any thoughts?
