APPROACH MODE ACTIVATION (LOC-G/S)
When cleared by ATC and when appropriate:
DEPRESS the APPR pushbutton to arm the APPR mode for the approach entered in the flight plan.
Note: If a NON PRECISION approach is selected in the active flight plan and if the flight crew manually tunes an ILS on the RAD NAV page, the MCDU and the PFD display "CHECK APPR SELECTION". This message is a reminder to the flight crew that, although an ILS is tuned on RAD NAV page, the available approach guidance modes are APP NAV-FINAL when the APPR pushbutton is pressed in on the FCU.
The FCU APPR pushbutton arms or engages LOC and G/S modes, if:
‐ An ILS approach is entered in the flight plan, or
‐ No approach, or only a runway, is entered in the flight plan, and an ILS is manually-tuned on the RAD NAV page, or
‐ Both RMPs are set to NAV, and an ILS is selected
CAUTION
If the pilot decides to fly the ILS approach without revising the arrival of the primary flight plan (a non ILS approach is in the F-PLN), LOC and G/S modes will not be available when he presses the APPR pushbutton. Consequently, he should:
• Manually TUNE in the ILS on the RAD NAV page: CHECK that the "CHECK APPR SELECTION" message comes up.
• Press the ILS pushbutton and select ROSE ILS on the EIS CONTROL panel.
• Use HDG, V/S or TRK, FPA modes to fly the ILS.
