why the ###### would nebody want to do a CATIII ILS Approach.  Just fly the ILS your self.

If visibility is too poor then it is required of the pilot to do so a automatic landing.

Most people would land manualy, But this is a tutorial on how to do it what did you exspect.

Otherwise don't read this if this is of no use to you.

I dunno what i'm doing wrong, but I do all the stuff you tell me to, then I open the GPS radar so I can see when I enter the ILS "green arrow" I press the APP button, and the plane simply flys right...and just keeps flying right. I'm pretty sure it's not ment to do that.

Please help.

Perhaps someone could translate that handy guide into an idiot proof version for me to understand. Images would be nice too, but I won't be too greedy and demanding. I find it much easier when it's broken down into little bits.

I try to do all my landings manually. But theres just one thing that i cant seem to crack! Its your Vertical speed. When should you start your descent and what should your V-speed be? I always find myself to high and end up overshooting! Good tut btw

ILS APPROACHES

[MidasTouch]

ok sry for bringing back an ancient topic, but when i flew overhead intersection LAURA at KDAL where i was supposed to land, the plane went barmy and just circled over the airfield. LAURA was right above the airport and i was coming int from KIAH for a 13R approach. what did i do wrong?

[thegreatkicker]

When youre going to autoland what other options besides APP should be on?

[Hurock]

Your NAV1 frequency should be tune on the ILS freq....

[thegreatkicker]

I know the NAV1 but on the autopilot panel what else should be turned on besides the APP button.

[Hurock]

Nothing... maybe your IAS, if you want to use auto-throttle...

[spambot2]

thanks ill try that

[Tepp]

This is an old thread, but I decided to post anyways.

When I get 100nm away from my destination, I put it on approach mode, but my plane doesn't turn to get lined up or anything. It just keeps going straight.
I'm not sure what to do, could someone please help?

Thanks

On a side note, I couldn't make TO/GR make the plane to take off. So what I do is set the speed on AP to the desired climb speed, set the flight level and the vertical speed as well, and leave autobreaks on OFF. Then when I'm ready to take off, I switch the AP on, click on SP (speed), the plane starts accelerating. Then I click on ATT (altitude) when I reach minimum takeoff speed and the plane starts rolling and takes off. Voila, job done, gear up please. [/quote]
Only bad thing about this is that AT will set your throttle to like 104% N1 and in reality, your engines would overheat.

Set your speed to under 250 in the AT, manually adjust to 94% N1 and once off the ground then activate AT.  Should be a much smoother takeoff.

BTW, that's not auto landing, that's known as a coupled ILS approach, auto land is usually a panel that even flares the aircraft and put flaps and gear down etc...

I know it's late to be saying this, but it only just hit me that it isnt an autoland.

[Matt98]

I tried this but the jet won't line up on the runway with the line so i cant change it to ILS landing and i cant land a plane at all with VFR but auto-land would be so useful

To be honest, you can't really auto-land with any aircraft. Sure it follows the ILS but it doesn't flare and you end up slamming into the ground. You need to get a payware aircraft (that supports auto-land) to do a true auto-land. iFLY, PMDG 747, NGX, MD-11, and Level-D 767 will all do a true auto-land. Airsimmer A320 will also do it, but that thing has a million bugs so don't bother with it.
