CptAnubis Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi there, It is a great shame that V3 does not have a steep approach button for the infamous EGLC approach and looks like it never will. I've tried 2 approaches into EGLC recently and have had to divert elsewhere. Throttle idle (manually not with autothrottle) and flaps full, the aircraft just speeds up way past 160 making it impossible to land. V2 did not have a steep approach function either but the speed stayed near enough on the desired approach speed give or take 5knots. I was wondering if there is a way to either change the configuration so it behaves like V2 or change the configuration to make the spoilers available beyond flap 2 and below 180, so we can imitate the steep approach function. I look forward to hearing from Feelthere and other pilots. Happy Flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raam123 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I agree... I wish they could moudle it. There used to be some drag mod to previous versions but its gone... I'm sure there many of us that wishes the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't use the spoilers beyond flap 2... for the EGLC try to configure the aircraft fully to land before the glide slope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty260191 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Vapp fully configured before GS Then reduce to VREF works for me the AOA keeps the speed down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2615 Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 But for VNKT's 5.31degree VOR Approcah you can't use flaps full because in case you go around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real Embraer has a "steep approach" option offered by the manufacturer. That is what the original poster is referring to. Simply configuring the aircraft fully before the glide slope is not the correct answer at an airport like London City because the glide slope itself is at a steeper angle than most other airports are.

My point is its not a standard option. Feelthere has made the normal spec. Hence no Steep approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
