Looks like the owner of the magnetic north pole isn't going to use it anymore. The rumour is that NavCanada has decided to go it alone rather than waiting for ICAO to make the move. 2030.

Amongst his statements was that flying a Cat 3 coupled approach to the minima was the most difficult approach you could do. He was cla... Read More |

Dear all.
Here's a scenario from a recent simulator exercise (a bit simplified).
On the MCP panel, both Vertical Navigation (VNAV) Switch and Approach (APP) Switch are INOP. Everything else is operational.
Can an ILS be flown to ILS DA(H) and/or can a LNAV/VNAV be flown to LNAV/VNAV DA(H), using the remaining operational functions of... Read More |

Looks like the Citation Longitude has a FADEC controlled feature where the engines automatically decelerate to a 'safe level' regardless of thrust Lever position as the aircraft slows. Has anybody seen this feature on any other aircraft and is there a name for this feature.
