However, complaining that this is sloppy etc. will not help. Teach young collegues this procedure (yes, it IS a procedure) to be done correctly during sim training and initial line-training
fair comment.............he can also make sure he is going for the `real` g/slope (if, from above) by calculating his dist against altitude but he knows that already, right?
If A320 and freq already on MCDU then press APP pb or it may not engage it at all, yes, make sure it engages - definately LOC before G/S. Keep sharp, if she won`t engage, hard tune it using a MAN input into the MCDU rad or tune it on the RMP - And, make sure the "fickle" LOC has not gone off and flirted with the nearest signal from another approach runway nearby, if in Nav make sure she doesn`t go flying
up the LOC in the
wrong direction
