Dear Members,

When I managing the approach in the FMC there is a waypoint of the flight plan which appears when I use the FMC buttons to move forward or back in the plan near the destination airport. For example: DESTI -> NONUK -> BISTA. In this case waypoint NONUK is a different waypoint from the entire flight plan and it's location is far from BISTA or DESTI. But the FMC say's the next waypoint is BISTA. But on the plan page if you press the next button you see NONUK location and BISTA comes after it. It doesn't affect the plan but it is a bit weird. So the NONUK waypoint in the FMC doesn't exists between DESTI and BISTA but in the plan pange you can see it on the screen between these waypoints. Another problem with the flight planning: I tried to plan an ILS approach at ESSA airport on the runway 19R but the ILS approach was terrifying. There were waypoints which are not in the FMC and the plane was going to go straight to the airport and then it was going to turn for the final approach at a 90 degree angle from the airport and land back. I hope it is understandable. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks,

Yes, FMGS is problematic. I really enjoy configuring the FMC manually, and it is quite complicated to do this on the A330 LVFR's FMC. But Ricardo, CEO of LVFR, said they are remodeling this.
