A320 Final Approach mode to LNAV minima
I saw this in the FCOM recently.... I didn't realize that the A320 can fly fully managed (FINAL APP) to LNAV minima? I thought it must be done in NAV / FPA.
Can someone shed some light here...
Thank you !

Check that your airline is approved to fly managed NPAs. Approval may be needed from the local authority, approaches may need to be validated and you may require sim training.
If it was simple and straight forward it wouldn't be aviation.

Yeah, watch out for all the glitches, OEBs, specificities and such.
You can use managed-managed to perform an NDB approach (LNAV minima), if you like and you meet all those restrictions. But you have to x check with raw data. Similarly, you can shoot an RNAV to LNAV minima with FINAL APP (for instance if your company does not allow to shoot the same approach to LNAV/VNAV minima).
