LNAV & VNAV (and a DC-10/MD-11 question)
Hello all.
Could any of you lucky ATPL holders explain the basics (and perhaps go into a bit more detail) on the principle of the V-NAV and L-NAV (autopilot) buttons on the dash of the 757, 767 etc. I understand that they are navigation related (lateral & vertical?) but what and how are they used exactly.
Oh, and a bit off the subject, any DC-10, MD-11 pilots out there explain the tricky, sometimes unpredictable nature(?) of this aircraft in the last 30ft or so on landing. I’ve heard a bit about this and would like to hear from any one who knows what all this is about....
Thanks in advance.
