Well, I can fly a non precision approach in my 75/6 just like an ILS as well.I'm sure you can do the same thing in a B777.


So Airbus has no monopoly there.


I'm still not sure of the advantage of the Airbus 'constant groundspeed' approach.


It does help explain the far more pronounced and frequent power changes I notice on approach while riding in the back on the Ab.


up / down up / down all the way down the glideslope with the power, how is this an advance ?
