JumboAg Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 For the life of me I cannot get "VPATH" to show to give me a glidepath descent on a RNAV approach. I'm on final, APPR is armed. I have my altitude dialed in before I get to the final TOD waypoint but all it will do no matter what I try is show VPITCH. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Graeme_77 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 What altitude are you selecting before passing the FAF? Also, are you aware you can select the approach mode and get a LNV/VGP approach rather than worrying about VPATH?

Always just had VPITCH pop up. 2) As for LNV/VGP, no not away but would appreciate being pointed in the right direction to the procedure to do so. (Maybe when you get to your landing tutorials ;-) )
Graeme_77 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 OK, approach mode should just work. There are some approach profiles shown in the Operations Reference in the docs folder. For the VPATH approach can you send a screenshot including the PFD and CDU flightplan just before the final approach intercept?

My previous Challenger flight is where I encountered this so I'll just reload the 1000' save, do a go around and capture the above. Unless its a bug that manifests itself using a saved state, my guess is its pilot error on my part. Just need to figure out what step I'm forgetting.
JumboAg Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Posted January 16, 2022 VPITCH, never getting vertical guidance. FAF is RINVE at or above 2200' FWIW, the approach in question is the RNAV 31 to Dallas Executive (KRBD). Advisory VNAV is enabled.
