Hey, Not even I fly approaches I am not cleared for!
On first contact with Approach I request vectors for ILS 28R, negative visual.
On another note, You mention in post #635 map shift etc.
I have been thinking about this.
Is it possible they had a slight MFD drift to the right. The A320 they flew not having GPS, we are looking at DME DME VOR triangulation.
The IRS being off by at least a mile after 5 hrs, how does the A320 mix the position presented and flown on the MFD ?With the FMS (visual Bridge)28R in?
If the track presented was off by just 100 meters right, they would think they were on CL.
I most certainly see FAA not loving some of these money saving , half baked so called procedures.
