Captain45 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Although I like the improvements in v.2 versus v.1, there is something that puzzles me cocerning the decision height/altItude. The manual has several pages about 'minimums' but in v.1 I was used to simply read them from the approach chart. It could be usually 50, 200 or 500 for DH. Easy. If v.1 could determine what the value must be for a specific approach based on the AIRAC Data, it must be possible for v.2 as well. If someone can shine a simple light on 'how to determine' this value I would be very gratefull. Oh. and I know I can simple add the field elevation to the DH to get the DA. Thanks in advamce.

aivlasoft Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi Dirk, Quote ... but in v.1 I was used to simply read them from the approach chart. They are still on the approach chart. See next screenshot: As described on page 35 (chapter 5.3.4 Minimums) EFB v2 does not only allow to display 'Standard Values', but also (manually configured) real world values. The 'Standard Values' (bright yellow background) are the values that you mentioned in your post. EFB v1 always displayed standard 'DH/DA' and did not distinguish between them for different approach types and different approach categories for ILS approaches. EFB v2 now clearly distinguish between them. For precision approaches, CAT 3 and CAT 2, it's a DH, whereas for CAT 1 approaches it's a DA. Non-precision approaches do not have a 'Decision Height/Altitude' but a Minimum Descent Altitude and a Missed Approach Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain45 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi Urs, Thanks for the reply. It is starting to become clear now. I've found more info on this link that might be usefull for others with the same question. Greetings Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
