Hello,
How do I set the minimum altitude on an approach on an Airbus? I know how to do it on Boeing, although the callouts don’t work.
AFAIR in the MCDU.
You mean like a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or the Decision Height (DH)? You set them in the MCDU PERF page under Approach. You can just type in the number and store it to the MDA/DH box.
Or if you’re using the FBW A32NX mod, it would be under the BARO or RADIO fields.
Also, why is this under SDK Discussion category?

You get the respective altitude from the ILS or Approach Chart for your destination airport and you enter it to the MCDU Approach Page under the Button “PERF”.
To add: MDA is used at at Non-Precision approaches, DH/DA for Precision approaches. As always, maybe company procedures are different.
