should blink in amber.
To change now to the Final APP Mode the following must be given:
• Before the VIP (vertical interception point) the plane must be vertical as well as lateral stabilized (in
our tutorial flight at GAR09).
• The Approach Phase should be activated (happens automatically when passing the „Deceleration
Points“ which is app. 15nm before the landing or has to be activated manually in the FMGC)
• APP NAV must be engaged and FINAL APP “armed” (see FCU)
How to select the „managed“ or „selected“ mode, you know already e. g. to draw or push the required buttons
(drawing = „selected“ and pushing = „managed“).
Of course the PM assists the PF during the approach by calling the distances as well as altitudes so that it is
possible for the PF to check the “glide path”. But this is a brief check of the raw data only. At “Minimum” the
autopilot is switched off (happens automatically – 50 feet below “Minimum”) and the flight is continued
visually. If a landing is not possible under those conditions then a GOAROUND has to be performed.
The following short tutorial for a flight from Vienna to Corfu is an NPA in Managed Mode and using an
Decelerated Approach.
7.2 Settings / Flightplan used for the Tutorial
We are using the A319 for this flight with a ZFW of app. 48.445 kg (80 passengers and 2.000 kg cargo) as well
as a fuel load of 8.575 kg (according to the Load-/Fuel-Planner – in Advanced Mode -).
The flight plan will be as follows:
Departure: LOWW (Vienna/Austria) – Runway: 16 – SID: SASA2B
Flight: SASAL – UZ21 – BABIT – UT23 – TADAM – UM127 – VAL – UN732 – PITAS
Arrival: LGKR (Corfu/Greece) – Runway: 35 = VOR 35-Y – STAR: PITAS2J – TRANS: DIREX
You can manually enter the flight plan or use the existing one LOWWLGKR01. But after loading there is a
F-PLAN DISCONTINUITY between BETAK (end of STAR PITAS2J) and DIREX. Please CLR it.
7.3 Weather LGKR
The expected METAR data for our approach at LGKR are as follows:
Temperature: 25 degrees C
Wind: At 344 degrees at 4 knots
QNH: 1010 HPa
Please adjust the P3D weather settings accordingly.
This weather is perfect for using any approach, so we will use VOR35-Y and STAR PITA2J (marked in red on the
charts you will find in 6.5) and TRANS DIREX (marked in blue).
7.4 Checklist- and Copilot Function
We suggest using the Checklist as well as Copilot Function for this flight because then you are fully able to
concentrate on this NPA procedure.
7.5 Charts used for this NPA at LGKR Rwy35
The charts we need for this approach you will find below. Additional charts for this approach can be found here
