When arming the approach well outside of the normal G/S capture envelope, a spurious G/S* engagement may occur due to a wrong G/S deviation signal.
Whenever the pilot notices the pitch movement, or the spurious G/S*, or the trajectory deviation, the pilot will immediately disconnect the AP, if engaged, to re-establish a normal attitude and will disengage APPR mode.
Are you really 100 years old?
Thats good stuff. I oftentimes wish we used the manufactures FCOM, but we don’t and never will. It’s just the way my company is.
I’ll use that in an article I’m writing. Thanks and Merry Christmas, old man...
