I_like_tea,
Thanks mate.
Yes understand the problem with elevation being 1800 feet, my whole times 3 should be added to that.
12 miles - 5800 this case.
Easier to configure and do everything based on radio altimeter for now as a newbie?
2500 feet at least 7.5 miles.
Before intercepting LOC I could always do flaps one, especially if it's a tight turn, and once radio alt comes alive, 2500 to 1500 could be enough to be in landing config more or less.
Of course this is only to avoid confusion in high elevation airfields just for now.
And it's an idea.
Any more advice is welcome.
Also got one more ques.
On a VOR approach for example. Performing a fully selected approach. Platform altitude being 2500 feet.
ATC has cleared me for the approach while I'm at 4000 feet.
Just open descent and get myself to 2500, and just as always I'd pull FPA etc.
What happens if while trying to descend down to 2500 ive passed my FAF.
On an ILS of course it's capturing the GS from above like we said.
What happens in this case?
Thanks again.
Now at 10 miles and I'm at
