FlyinTrim....the FPA isnt calculated off the DME. This approach would be flown in LOC/FPA. You would descend down to 2000' for the FAF and then at the FAF it would be FPA -3.0 (plus temp correction) down to your MDA. The only DME you would need is where you can descend down to 2000' but that doesn't seem to be the problem here.
Or am I missing what you are saying?
Hi llmavll,
I'm not familiar with how Airbus carry out their Non Precision Approaches.
Can you still use LOC/FPA on aircraft without GPS? Would they not use LOC/VS?
Using LOC/FPA and 3.08 degrees should set things up nicely without any problems.
I think that somewhere during the approach, and for some reason, there was a loss of situational awareness.
