Click the PERF button. Depending on the phase of flight the current flight phase will be displayed.
Move through the pages by clicking the NEXT PHASE button until you see the APPR page.
You can manually activate the approach phase in the air directly from any of the other pages. For this
click the cyan option ACTIVATE APPR PHASE. The managed airspeed will be set to the VAPP speed. To
leave the approach phase perform a go-around or insert a new cruise altitude on the progress page
and then climb to it (e.g. by pulling the altitude knob).
Enter the destination QNH, temperature, wind and the radar decision height or barometric minimum
decent altitude before landing.
For the tutorial select QNH
1013
, TEMP
15
degrees Celsius, Wind
0/0
(or what ever you chose the
wind to be) and enter
100
into the DH field.
Check the approach speed VAPP, it should be at least 5 knots above the velocity low speed (VLS). If
required you can insert an approach speed manually, to compensate for wind gusts, etc. E.g. enter
140
.
You also have the option to land with flaps CONF 3 instead of FULL - this is useful if you have a long
runway and want to vacate at the end or the runway, of if you want to keep the speed up for
sequencing and you are flying a rather light aircraft. If you select this, also activate the ground
proximity warning system (GPWS) “LDG FLAP 3” in the left side of the overhead panel to avoid any
GPWS callouts like “too low flaps”.
