Tiger-II Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Hi, Does the SCA mode provide glideslope guidance to the runway? As I understand it, when flying to the RWY fix, it should provide an internally generated glideslope similar to ILS and display the deviation bar on the HUD.

It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
foxwxl Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 SCA is visual approach mode and does not activate ILS, to use the ILS,U need to select the ILS approach mode Deka Ironwork Tester Team
Tiger-II Posted December 27, 2019 Author Posted December 27, 2019 I'm confusing it with another aircraft. This aircraft doesn't provide glide slope guidance.

witness_me Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 you can toggle guide bars for the glide slope both in the efis adi and in the hud - you need to be on nav mode -> apr mode -> ils -> faf mode (at least that's teh one i use - not sure it'll work if you manually set to rwy)

Shrike88 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 I was under the impression that in the apr page settings it displays a glideslope user selectable path angle. Can the aircraft not generate a custom approach (not ils) and give you a decent path from a nav fix ? Similar to an RNAV or GPS approach? I would assume this is possible

I would assume this is possible Maybe you can try TCN approach and edit the glide path of WPT 59(haven't tried what U want myself). RNAV GPS approach may require navigation database and FMC, I'm not sure if the plane is qualified. Deka Ironwork Tester Team
