RNAV approach in IXEG 737

[coolgovind180]

dear sir

I know the general procedure to carry out an RNAV approach in boeing aircrafts...but in IXEG 737..is it modeled? like Can i do rnav approach in LNAV/VNAV mode? I know that there is no speed intervention in 737 300 and hence in VNAV mode we have to make sure we enter the right speed at different approach points..but what is the general procedure to do rnav approach in ixeg 737 ?

dear sir

 

I have seen this video and here the vertical profile is managed in V/S mode ....but si this how its done in real aircraft? for all aircrafts the RNAV approach is managed in VNAV/LNAV mode right? RNAV approach is not managed through V/S mode in vertical profile right?

Hi,

yes, we always had to fly the RNAV approaches in V/S mode - VNAV mode was not certified on the 737-300.

The 737NG and other more modern aircraft can fly these approaches in LNAV/VNAV - but you can also fly them in LNAV V/S or LNAV FPA (flight path angle). You have to do so, for example, if the temperature is too cold (as you would fly too low in VNAV).

I know that technically the 737-300 was able to fly in VNAV as well... I tried it once in the real aircraft .

In our aircraft (IXEG) it is possible, but you can not adjust the speed correctly, I think it will fly 150kts hardcoded.

Cheers, Jan

thank you jan

 

I guess its better to fly it in V/S or VNAV..but if in VNAV i need to make sure the speeds are set correctly...thanks for the heads up
