Remarks:	Second-to-last leg of the "Flying the Greek Islands" achievement. Only one to go! I decided to try out an NDB approach in the Fenix A320. To my surprise, it appeared the FLS was going to bring me down. And it probably would have if I had descended on its profile instead of the VNAV profile. Instead I had to descend downward into it since I was quite high approaching the FAF. I did eventually intercept both F-LOC and F-G/S, but only when turning final, which perhaps is normal. I still need to learn a bit more about the FLS, especially its capabilities. I made a far smoother landing in the A320 this time, but at the cost of a bit of a float, which isn't great on such a short runway. But I got her stopped well before the end of the runway! Speaking of short runways, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get the A320 off of LGIK, but she handled it like a champ. I held the brakes as the engines spooled up to MAX TOGA and off she went! I wasn't about to set up a flex temp on that short of a runway either!
