A320 approaches.
Hi all.
Just need some clarification with these approaches and methods on the airbus.
ILS - Fully managed where upon arming the approach PB, the a/c flys itself to the minimums.
Does it even make sense to do a selected ILS approach?
If yes, how exactly would that work? Changing heading knobs to intercept the localizer, and then arming the GS?
NON precision Localizer only approaches.
Semi managed (I believe is what it is called)
Here you ARM the LOC PB to intercept the localizer, and pull the V/S FPA according to your glide path angle all the way to minimums.
VOR approaches can be either fully managed, semi managed(not sure how this works, if anyone can please explain?), or selected - where you again intercept the VOR with heading knobs, and pull the V/S FPA to descend to minimums.
Please correct me if i've said anything wrong.
