This is all a total mix up of everything because of this homemade APPR
ATC will never issue that APPR if the WX min is too low
IT IS STILL A VOR with 800Min and a VISUAL SEG FROM DYMHL nothing else
the first guys flew it with FLS - big failure - but induced by SOP as A380 is flying RNAV APPR with FLS - except RNAV RNP, which are not allowed at this time.
What happens if u fly that APPR with FLS - once u come towards the Centerline the imaginary GS will come into capture range as it is lower than u should be the airplane tries to intercept it which leads to being to low at the end.
according to the FCOM
The AP or FD in OP DES or DES mode can be used in approach.
However, its use is only permitted if the AFS CP selected altitude is set to, or above, the higher of:
- MDA/MDH
- 500 ft AGL.
this includes per Airbus also the use of FPA with AP on.
Which means in other words, once u pass the minimum u fly manual to the runway
this limitation is there to avoid CFIT
Again this is and stays a VOR with visual turn segment.
nothing else - our max automation Philosophie leads to false Conclusiones and therefore to such Szenarios
our procedure has created rocket science into this APPR
