TXSailor Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 So, I think I have everything set up properly. Have all my switches on, have my RSBN set, with the same channel in both windows. I followed the Nav mode to get headed in the right direction, and intercept the inbound course for landing (In this case Kutaisi, 074). Once on course, tracking inbound 074 and 120km out, I change to descent mode (Labled "proceed", the upper switch position) and at about 104km and 8,000m up, I get the glideslope and track that down. About 10km out, I'm aligned with the runway nicely and everything is going great. The Descent glideslope flattens out, as I understand it should, and switch to Landing. The glideslope and localizer needle center in my pipper and stay there. I hold altitude, heading and airspeed and keep tracking inbound to the runway. I've got a visual, so it's easy, but I'm trying to get the needles to do SOMETHING. No dice. Eventually, I hit the point where I HAVE to start coming down to make the landing, and as I lower the nose, both needles remain centered on the piper (The glideslope needle lowers to match my new pitch). I've tried this at other fields as well with the same problem, but this was the first time I followed all the way in from the descent mode, and it all worked, so I can't imagine it was an error on my part. Any ideas?
Frederf Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Check the Kappa and Gamma symbols on the NPP instrument not showing white flags. I think that if you listen to the audio identifier you can tell that you are getting PRMG signal (turn RSBN channel to 0 to make sure not to listen to that ident). It sounds like you aren't receiving PRMG signals and the directors in this case indicate level flight with no turns as a safety for lost signal.
mytai01 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 The biggest problem I believe facing PRMG is the lack of approach plates. Realistic or not. We need accurate approach parameters to follow for each airport to follow to insure a good intercept of the PRMG signal.
