![]() More than a decade ago, “guide mode” belay devices appeared on the market. Looking to learn trad? Guides Rob Coppolillo and Marc Chauvin take you through gear-protected climbing in Climbing’s Intro to Trad Climbing. For this illustration, it helps us to visualize the localizer signal path at 261° into the runway, which we are going to capture with the APPR mode.Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! ![]() It allows drawing distance rings or radial lines from navigation fixes. It is part of the new FIX INFO feature, available only in the Development version for the time being. You might ask what the blue dashed line is. Usually AP2 is turned on at this point to have a redundancy on the approach, for the sake of this guide you can leave it off. Also, the lateral FMA shows LOC in blue (armed). The lateral ILS localizer scale shows the deviation marker moving towards the middle of the lateral deviation scale. The aircraft will keep the current heading until the localizer is captured and guides the aircraft towards the runway. Turn on APPR in the FCU to command the aircraft to intercept the ILS localizer. Our target is to be in CONF 1 and at S-speed by the time you need to set flaps 2 (CONFIG 2) before the glideslope intercept (S-speed will be slow enough to set flaps 2). The aircraft will then decelerate further to prepare for the next flaps configuration. Set FLAPS to 1 at about V FE -15 knots (but never before speed is below V FE) for the first slat/flap configuration ( CONF1). The aircraft should now decelerate to green dot speed. Set SPEED to Managed Speed Mode (push the Speed Selector). In APPR phase, the Autopilot together with "Managed Speed Mode" reliefs the pilot of a lot of stress by managing the speed according to flaps setting automatically (S-Speed after FLAPS 1, F-Speed after FLAPS 2, V app after landing flap selection). This is usually automatically done by the aircraft at a certain point during the approach, but we make sure that at this point at the latest it is activated. The ROSE LS Mode shows the deviation from the localizer approach heading path.Īctivate the APPR phase in the MCDU-PERF page. Optional: Turn on ROSE LS Mode for the ND (can also be on F.O.'s side). Make sure we are on the correct altitude (5000 ft in this example) and we should not have an approach angle larger than 30°. We find the correct frequency on the approach chart. ![]() Verify that the correct ILS frequency is tuned in the MCDU-RNAV page. ![]() To intercept the ILS Localizer, we follow these steps:
