Quick question for you expert pilots...
So I created a 737 flight plan from Paris Orly to Heathrow with some extra waypoints so the plane lines up to 27L from the east over London. Cruising altitude is 25,000.
Looking at the way points, their altitude decreases (as expected) as they get nearer to the runway and landing.
So I am flying the flightplan on autopilot in GPS mode but the autopilot doesn't seem to take any notice of the altitude set for each waypoint.
How do I get the autopilot to follow the altitude of the waypoints correctly? I can only seem to be able to set altitude hold at a fixed altitude.
