FMCs aren't programmed for approaches period, you moron

Well yes they are.

Uh, no they're not. Only sids and stars, unless you mean an RNAV
app. Airplane still uses the navaids intended for the appp.



Bertie
Or NDB, VOR, GPS.......(and both laterally and vertically)

Of course ILS are still flown using navaids, but all others no.

And above it was not specified you were talking only about ILS


But fjukktard was talking about an airplane making an approach and
landing all unaided.

Unless your outfit allows autolands off an ADF.....

Well, as I said it can follow the appch laterally and vertically down
to the runway, the landing is not going to be pretty for sure, more a
crash landing and would not like to be on it for sure.

Well, they can all do that. in fact you could do it with even older stuff.
I know someone who did onc e, in fact. Case of having to. But what **** for
brains is talking about is pure holywood crap.

And as I said in the other post the FMS can tune to the ILS and do the
appch using the navaids, again not a pretty landing but probably
survivable.

And what airplane, exactly, are you talking about that can do this?
