Im not sure if Im the only one whose noticed this over the last couple of days but, the ILS glideslope bug in the 737-800 and 737-900 has been INOP. Everything else seems in working order but, could pose issues if anyone was to hand fly an ILS approach during low visibility/IFR conditions. Has anyone else noticed the same thing and are the tech folks aware of this issue?
Negative because when I enable the GS on the autoland feature it immediately captures it. Iāve only encountered it during VFR and the VASI lights show me on the correct glideslope.
IF has PAPI lights as far as I know, not VASI lights. They are similar. Their glide angle should be about the same irl, but if IF even has VASI lights (which I do not believe) there might be a difference between the angles of the 2.
To check if the glideslope is correct, you can reference the PAPI and see if you are consistently maintaining two red and two white while on the glideslope.
edit: actually (contrary to what I wrote further below), I can now reproduce glideslope being green with the glideslope diamond being well below you:
If you had triggered the GS going to green lock from earlier having been on glideslope, but then subsequently lost the GS, it still stays green. It looks like you maybe were not stable entering into the APPR mode being turned on, or from some event during the approach (you are pitched abnormally downwards; I note your speed is 120kts)?
Hi, This is what I donāt understand: Your glideslope diamond is way below you (what looks like the purple āvā):
At a minimum of 3000ft itāll activate The APPR and if you have correct Speed and donāt exceed 250 kts and normally you have it until 160 or 150 onwards according to The Plane Itself thatās what will help land it and both of em will appear green
Also It wonāt activate Sometimes if it says Aircraft is overweight.
