Keep in mind to that most of the flightdirector / autopilot funtions Im researching , and may be incorrect or incomplete at the moment .... But I'm 99.9% sure your right , the Aerostar shouldn't climb to intercept the glideslope .... I'll see if I can correct that next , Cheers, Syd P.S. Thanks for the feedback , by the way , keeps me on my toes ;)
