Regarding the distance indication; inserting RW28 in the fix page will give the distance to the end of the runway. And putting it in the Descent page will show all sorts of magic, including a constantly updating required rate of descent to said runway.
One of the many puzzling factors is this; The aircraft being (inadvertently) left in LNAV, yet their track didn’t bring them out on the inbound course to the NDB. They are identical. Perhaps the FMS wasn’t programmed or sequenced correctly. Or there’s another hold over BGC ?
The irony is that the entire NDB approach could have been flown in LNAV/VNAV. Or, worst case LNAV/VS, whilst backing up the Descent page guidance with timing from the approach chart. And the ADF confirming the LNAV guidance.
I’m glad none of our aircraft have an ADF
