FMC goes acrobatics

[Chimo]

I made a flight from EDDW to EGSS. STAR at EGSS is ABBOT1C. ILS Approach 04. The left side of the attached picture shows the approach chart, on the right side you see the approach in the FMC! Seems, that the FMC want to show, how to fly an acrobatic challenge with the IXEG 733 (used Navigraph Data cycle 5/2016)

Hi and thanks for the report!

the conditional waypoints are a very hard challenge for the FMS. We will check this one out and see where things went wrong...but hey, in the end you would end up at RWY 04, right?

Cheers, Jan

After giving your passengers some nice aerobatics, they'll be down on the ground. May not be happy though

Correct, but i`m afraid, that I will be arrested for alcoholism after landing.

Oh no, there are quite a few excuses in the repertoire of an airline pilot. Birds, CB´s, bad LNAV coding...
