Whereupon I refer the honourable gentlemen to my previous point...
Isn't this ludicrous?
I shouldn't have to be learning how to do a visual manoeuvre in the sim...especially if the techniques differ!
That is a categoric recipe for disaster.
BTW, I thought JAA minima (MDH) for a Circling Approach was 600ft/2400m?
The Boeing 737 FCTM has instructions on how to fly a Circling Manoeuvre.
All the techniques suggested for using the FMC in the fashion suggested, assume the ANP is pretty much zero - a problem conveniently forgotten about in the sim.
In a radio updating environment, one would hope that ANP is significantly less than RNP and certain FMC updates will alert you to the fact that it isn't, but even being 0.3nm displaced from where you
really are is going to make your life difficult on this hybrid
RNAV Circling Manoeuvre!
Look out the window.
