3D NAV Vangle Computed

[Tidji]

Yesterday i was training to land on Sukhumi in bad weather with the help of the divert page and putting the waypoint parameters on NAV 3D, COMPUTED VANGLE and SCALE on APPROACH.

I was surprised that the computed angle was 1.5° which give a flat approach. I remember havind used this method a few weeks ago and the computed angle was 3° which seems to be a better value.

Can someone tell me if he has the same angle or if i am missing something in my method ?

Wouldn't the computed angle result from the waypoint you are coming from, respectively your current 3D position?

Your answer may me think about the method i use. I first set NAV 3D then set VANGLE to COMPUTED and at least SCALE to APPROACH.

For the angle to be well computed i probably have to set the SCALE on APPROACH fisrt.

I'll try and see if it is better.

After reading more carefully the manual, it seems you are right :"When COMPUTED is selected, vertical steering will be automatically computed between the TO and FROM points."
