some suggestions for sim profiles

some suggestions.

1. Manual ILS Course. In case this is inconclusive, maybe you can try it with Localiser signal failing below 15 ft.

2. IRS Drift. Maybe you could try it with IRS drift of...

Speculation on why check at 350 ft?

Possibly, Airbus wants the check at 350 ft, because the IRS position would slowly get updated by the localiser from the moment of localiser intercept?

If there was a considerable IRS drift at the...

thanks, 9G and Penko

Many thanks for all the inputs. I now realise that "check ILS Course" means exactly that and NOT drift angle between heading and track.

The 5 deg course difference limit is probably required to...

I made some calculations to relate drift angle to groundspeed.

5 deg drift angle corresponds to crosswind well below the 20 k limit for autoland. At a high ground speed of 160 k, 5 deg would...

maths

Looking at it as a simple Maths problem. If descent angle is 3 deg, you need to change body angle by 3 deg to get a level flight path IF the speed was constant. Wind additives to V Approach would...

What a really interesting thread.

Just like to add. Stopway can exceed clearway because while the piece of ground meets the width required for use as stopway, it doesn't meet the increased width...

higher temp vs higher fuel burn

Higher flame temperature is possible with a higher COMPRESSION RATIO, while keeping the same fuel-air ratio. (not quite close to stochiometric combustion in a jet engine.) so the amount of fuel you...

Thanks, CapnSandl and BOAC.

I did look up FCOM using "inhibited" and found those references. However, there's no reference to Vibration display being inhibited. I do prowl the website often. And...
