Collins FMS-3000 - always use APPR mode ?
RE: ProLine 21 / Collins FMS-3000
NOTE: Still learning the system, nice and slow, one day at a time, know my limits. With that said :
Getting some different opinions, regarding when/whether to use NAV mode or APPR mode when executing an IFR approach.
a few guys at my place advocate
NAV mode: LNAV only Approach, RNAV with MDA, VOR Approach, anything with MDA is NAV mode
APPR mode: anything with a DA
What are the various opinions on this ?
I prefer simple versus hard or "Its an approach, use APPR mode"
