So why is it then that when I am flying directly to the FI and then execute the intercept course to the FI the vertical profile varies greatly. Shouldn't it be the same then if that was the case? I think would would help me to understand this more clearly would be if I can know what is the "from" point.... the "to" point is obviously the FI but where is this profile starting its calculations from?
CMIIW vnav calculates as if you were flying straight in approach...a simple trick is simply push lnav when you are on intercept heading vnav will recalculate your profile accurately.. sorry for my english its not my 1st language
ps: all based on my exp flying the 738/739
