PT6A, I found your very detailed explanation here with regards to GS Mini and it’s certainly reinforces the concept much more clearly.
I’d like to add another question. Does GS mini work if you manually punch in the VAPP in the FMGS, assuming all other entries (especially the wind) are correct? I cannot find any references in FCOM with regards to this.
For example, VAPP is 140, and I manually put 143 in instead and fly the approach with managed speed. GS mini didn’t seem to work today with strong gusts down the runway axis and it did got us wondering a bit on finals. The magenta speed target stayed at 143 throughout.
I’ve seen the GS mini many times but to be honest, this is the first time I ever manually increased the speed from the calculated VAPP. I didn’t expect GS MINI not to work.
Any ideas, anyone?
