So on the RNAV X you're using the FMS to cross check the FMS? Or did i miss something im getting slow...
Errr no, I’ve never bothered to fly the Canarsie using the published RNAV approach. I have always preferred to use raw data to back up the published VOR 13L/R with the visual segment.
The RNAV in EK Ops is overly complicated and cumbersome, FWIW the last time I did the approach in anger was nearly 2 years ago in the 777F at pretty much MLW which I’m assuming is about 15kts quicker than the 380 at normal weights, and it was a non event, even thought we were offered 13R halfway through the turn onto 13L.

Fast forward to 4.50 to get an idea of a challenging evening, but just looking out the window works pretty well.
