Boeing 777 FPA
Can anybody tell me whether FPA mode on the MCP is used to relieve workload during a VFR approach by letting LNAV fly the approach down to the threshold from a fixed point along the centreline?
I recall on the 757/767, building a RX (Runway Extension), performing an Intercept leg along the extended centreline and entering height/speed in the FMC allowed a pseudo 3 degree path to allow a VFR approach to the threshold flown by LNAV when an ILS is not available.
Don't fly glass, so if I don't make total sense - excuse me.
