Switching FMS to LOC guidance
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2020 2:50 pm
Following sitiation I need help on:
Approaching an airport with FMS control. The LOC is autotuned and appears in blue with CRS and deviation as dashed symbols. If all is okay from altitude, you can leave it and the ILS mode will take over on due time.
Now, in case I'm too high and would need to make a little deviation from actual FMS track, I would take over in HDG and then switch to LOC mode later. But in this situation the switching between FMS and an automatically activated ILS mode on standby is not possible as the top left key on the MFD has no function anymore, while before catching the ILS it would be possible to switch between FMS and ILS mode while flying in HDG mode.
Any help to get out of that automatic flight under FMS with LOC on standby? The situation was as below.
