Selected and managed approaches. Questions (airbus related)
Firstly, I read somewhere that doing "selected" precision approaches don't usually make sense to do, and they should and usually are managed, is this true?
If you are radar vectored until your interception of the localizer, you are turning(selecting) headings until you can ARM the "approach" and intercept both loc and g/s, is this not selected precision?
I assume you can only do a managed approach if you are cleared for the approach from the start.
Also, on non precision approaches.
I don't quiet understand the difference between selected and managed modes here.
I was reading how on a selected approach you will on FAF engage the trk/fpa and then put a 3 degree slope and decent to your MDA.
Quiet confusing to me.
Could someone please care to explain?
Thank you
