![]() Crossing RICKE, I would cross check my altitude to be 1700+/- 150 feet. I would not expect to intercept the GS for roughly another 3 NM or 90 seconds assuming a ground speed of 120 Kts. Passing NUMBE intersection, the nominal GS is at 3733 feet or 933 feet above the 2800 crossing minimum. I am lazy and would intercept the GS at 2800 feet. On a full ILS approach, once the GS is intercepted on the segment that contains the GS intercept, the 1700 minimum no longer applies, the GS rules, so dependent on temperature, you may cross above or below RICKE at 1700 MSL. On a "localizer only" approach, you must cross the FAF at the minimum of 1700 MSL. It is also a minimum altitude for the segment. ![]() The plane following the glideslope down and getting under the minimum altitude for that segment was getting to close to the plane for the parallel localizer who was at an assigned altitude during vector to finalĬlick to expand.1700 is the GS intercept altitude. The problems were happening where those step down altitudes were used to separate airplanes from each other mostly with simultaneous ILS Approaches where planes are close to each other. While the cold doesn't affect the glide slope it does affect the altimeter. There were problems with pilots following the glide slope down from to far out and busting altitudes on step down fixes. Sometimes this may require you to be above the glide slope out there. On any approach you have to comply with any minimum, maximum or mandatory altitudes for any step down fixes outside the final approach segment. "Navigraph Charts are intended for flight simulation use only, not for navigational use.I'd just pickup the glide slope out there by NUMBE and check that I was close to 1700 at RICKE to make sure I hadn't been following a false glide slope down.

With radius 63 NM around the waypoint ABTUM: This brings up the lateral revision page for this waypoint and also displays the FIX INFO page option. You will find the option to select the FIX INFO page on the top most waypoint of your active flight plan.įor this, go to the MCDU F-PLN page and select the top most waypoint with the left LSK (line select key). Step-by-Step Guide 1) Where is the FIX INFO page? Abeam intercept waypoint at the intersection of the perpendicular line from the REF FIX EGKK onto the flight plan.Radial intercept waypoint at the intersection of a radial line from the REF FIX EGKK at a 240° angle.Radius intercept waypoint at the intersection of a circle with radius 20 around the REF FIX EGKK with the current flight path.In our example, we get three different intercept waypoints which can be added to the flight plan. These waypoints will be named systematically with the type of interception and the REF FIX name. An Abeam is a line from the REF FIX onto the flight path, meeting the flight path at a 90° angle.Īfter entering a radial, radius or abeam, the FMS calculates if an intersection with the flight path is possible and provides the option to create a waypoint into the flight plan.īe aware, this is not implemented in the current version of the A32NX yet.A Radius is a circle of a certain radius around the REF FIX. ![]()
