RMP Nav Back-up Airbus A320

[planeboy_777]

hello everyone

i have a doubt regareding the RMP in Nav Backup mode

1) FCOM 1.3.4.30 P 7 says
- When the flight crew uses an RMP to turn an ILS/DME, the PFDs do not display the DME distance

does this mean that:-
a) You get ILSDME distance on ND(Rose-ILS) OR
b) you don't get the Distance at all,hence no ILS DME approaches for A320 when in Dual FMGC failure

Hi planeboy_777,

a) You get ILSDME distance on ND(Rose-ILS) OR

Afraid not.

b) you don't get the Distance at all, hence no ILS DME approaches for A320 when in Dual FMGC failure

or you can cheat and tune the ILS frequency on one of the VORs and display the distance on the DDRMI.

thank you rudderrudderrat for your response

Hi,

if you set the ILS and the a VOR co-located over the threshold will you get the DME readings on the DDRMI for the VOR?

thanks

Does anyone use DDRMIs any more? Certainly it has not been a standard fit for many Standards.(1.8?)

I am afraid that's not possible on many aircraft as all the ILS frequencies are not available on VOR tuner.

Quite true. Many if not most aircraft nowadays do not have the DDRMIs anymore. Therefore, that quite old advice (i am constantly in awe about peoples ability to resurrect old threads) is not possible anymore.

So what if your operator has 20+ years MSNs?
The search function is there for a reason.
