![]() ![]() Adjust flaps and spoilers as needed bearing in mind you are on the verge of stalling without large amounts of flap. Altitude hold will disable automatically and you will descend on the glideslope (press B to set your altimeter). You also want flight director on, and if in an airliner, a good speed is 150KTS. When you are cleared on the approach, press the APP button on the panel to turn the Approach button on which will enable the ILS. When approaching the airport you will hear beeps. You then put that frequency into the NAV1 radio, and press the ID or enable button below (make sure its in the primary not secondary location). ILS BASICS: With the ILS, you find the ILS frequency (from the map view) for the runway you wish to land on. the credit should go to christoperpostill at because this info does not come from me. I ripped this post from another forum so you could read it here. At the bottom of the post is where you will find a graphic of the magenta ILS bars TTT refered to. I have posted this basic description of flying ILS approaches twice before but I will post it again for you. Here's a good definition for you: Glide Slope: 1 : The proper path of descent for an aircraft preparing to land especially : such a path indicated by a radio beamĢ : the radio beam that marks a glide slope. A glide slope is basically an angle that you fly down to touchdown on a particular runway. I am not experienced in flying GPS approaches so I cannot help with that. When you intercept, you must be below the glideslope. In the aircraft I fly (C-172, C-20□ the pilot must control throttle and flaps to produce the conditions desired for that approach (speed, descent angle)Ĥ. Once those conditions are met and, you can push the approach button and the AP should fly course and altitude to landing. You are receiving both a an ILS and glide slope signal on the primary VOR I am not sure if this is a published requirement but I have found it to be true.ģ. You need to be flying an intercept angle of 90 degrees or less. You need to make sure if you are flying an ILS approach, the NAV/GPS toggle switch is set to NAV.Ģ. With FS9, there are several things you have to do to make a successful coupled approach (one where the autopilot flies the approach for you).ġ. Others may have an indicator on the flight director the points to the direction you must fly along with a vertical needle on the primary VOR and glideslope arrows that slide up and down the side of the VOR for the glideslope. Smaller aircraft may simply have a vertical needle for course and a horizontal needle for glideslope. Larger aircraft have more sophisticated indicators. The type of indication you get will depend on the type of aircraft you are flying.
