INFO:
There are many different terms for GPS approaches which are rather confusing (RNP/RNAV/GNSS/IAN) but they all come down to the fact that they are GPS approaches. This video shows you how to perform such GPS approach using the IAN function of the Boeing 737NG.
The IAN function lets the pilot use the Approach mode of the autopilot to fly an "artificial" ILS approach which creates a flight plath calculated using LNAV and VNAV data from the FMS. HOWEVER, you could also just perform the GPS approach by flying using LNAV and VNAV modes!

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I was flying a 747 in a mountainous area and didn't realize there was no ILS system while there was little to no visibility. I noticed the RNAV listing on my computer as an approach but I've never used it basically missing the airport. Now I understand the barometric system and how that works with the computers. Time to go test it out .....Thank you sooo much

Thanks for this! I tried shooting a GNSS approach the other day, but as I had the ILS freqs tuned for 'backup', I was quite surprised when the A/C started a CAT III autoland! Will have to try this again. My local airport recently dropped its SIDs/STARs so pilots have been flying the GNSS approaches because they have nice transitions.

@AviationPro 7 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! Yes that's the tricky part, it may easily fly an ILS of a nearby runway if you tuned an ILS frequency in the NAV radios. That's why there are also distinct annunciations on the PFD for the IAN approach so you know what kind of approach you are actually flying :)

@Izmael1310 7 жыл бұрын

Would like to see correct procedure to the LFMN (Nice) airport RWY 22R/L :). It is very nice vor approach (not sure about difference between VOR A; VOR B; and VOR C). Also if you will have time could you do some tutorial about STAR's including the transition? For example at Schiphol these transitions are very weird. I dont know how to explain it but they are not connected to runway there is always some kind of circle including SPL VOR in the transition - and these procedures are same as in the real world but the difference is ATC which gives you vectors so you dont have to fly through SPL at 7000 and then overflow the runway and do circle back :D.

@AviationPro 7 жыл бұрын

I'm not really sure either what the difference between those are. As for the transitions at EHAM, yes, most of them run via the SPL VOR, sometimes you simply have to enter the holding pattern at SPL first before you start making a weird turn. Mostly you will be vectored though or you can just vector yourself ;)

So I fixed the discontinuity. And then tried to fix the approach on the legs page. But it says Invalid Entry. 1. Is it normal for the plane to bring up the route discontinuity? Or was I doing something wrong? 2. Which waypoint/airway am I supposed to select in the legs Page to select my approach? Thank you for reading :)

Hey, I would like to know how did you keybind your additional keyboard. Because I tried to do the same thing but in the controls menu I can see only those actions of Default aircraft, and so f.e. I tried to setup F9 for autopilot (in aerosoftA320) and it did not work, (strangely i tried the same with landing lights, which seem to activate after pressing the button, but the switch in VC doesnt do anything..) Is it like fully working with your 737 and do you have any tips? ty

@AviationPro 7 жыл бұрын

Usually you can enter key bindings via the configuration manager of your addon aircraft or via its FMC. In this case, in the PMDG 737 you can select key bindings via the FMC. I don't have the Aerosoft A320 so I'm not sure how it would work there ;).

@AviationPro 7 жыл бұрын

It should be the gate you selected. But you have to make sure by looking outside and looking which stand number is displayed on the gate or on the ground when lining up to a gate. Also, you should confirm if the gate number in your scenery corresponds to the gate number on the charts of the airport. If you have an old scenery, it's best to determine your position on the chart and give ATC the gate number you are on according to the chart, otherwise you will give ATC an old gate number that might be all the way on the other side of the airport.

I'm sorry, but there's no such thing as "FSX 2017" or a "NAV/GPS Switch" in the Boeing 737. I don't use default airplanes, nor any versions of FSX so I'm not really sure what you're aiming at here ;)

@KiedisHaze 6 жыл бұрын

The default aircraft are unable to do (I'm pretty sure) all the of the approaches listed. They can fly ILS, vor and ndb i think, but it's very basic compared to a high quality (high priced) aircraft that AviationPro, assuming he's using the PMDG ngx. As for fsx2017, there's no such things but there are now a wide range of flight simulators that are updated for modern PCs. Here's a few Prepar3D v3(32bit)/Prepar3D v4(64bit) X-Plane 11 Flight Sim World. All are great.

Great video but there's one thing I'm confused about... I was doing a test flight and when I came up to the approach (I had a full flight plan set out already using LNAV and VNAV) and armed the approach mode, only the FAC thing came up but not the glide path. Is this normal? Cheers

Good question! I don’t know to be honest, if it really acts like an ILS capture it won’t be able to capture the ‘glideslope’ (G/P) before the localizer (FAC). Give it a try, you can always use vertical speed in case you’re not on the FAC yet

@flywithtb5005 5 жыл бұрын

@@AviationPro Well, I actually tried it in Toncontin, Honduras. It didn't work on the RNAV 02 Approach, but this was maybe due to a higher capture altitude than on the chart (+300ft) or a steep glide path (3,5°). The glide path was correctly simulated (I guess) but the aircraft just didn't capture it. I am using the version 3.32d of the Zibo modified B738 in X-Plane 11.30 with the AIRAC 1813 and I would really appreciate if someone could tell me their experience with the PMDG B738.
