How do you ILS land on FSX
ILS (instrument landing system) is a very sophisticated and complex system to master. To catch the localizer you'll need a numerous amount of information about the ILS you are trying to get.
You'll need to go to this website http://www.airnav.com. Once you get there click the tab that says "Airports". Then type in the airport ICAO code in the box. Hit enter, then scroll down until you see "Runway Information". Look for the runway you want, and then click the highlighted word "ILS/DME". Write down the localizer frequency and the [Middle Marker Information - Location] height (the height will be in parenthesis). Now you're set.
Here's the steps (do all of this about 40nm out from the airport to give you time):
1. Tune your Navigation radio into the frequency you wrote down.
2. Press "Nav1" on your radio stack.
3. Go to your GPS and hit the "-D->" and roll the GPS's little cursor to the right once.
4. Type in your destination airport's ICAO code.
5. Then press "PRC" (or something like that) to abbreviate approach and select the ILS approach that you are planning on.
6. Then on your plane's autopilot, while keeping an eye your GPS, switch the NAV/GPS to GPS, and dial the altitude to the altitude you wrote down, and set your plane's approach speed on the airspeed hold nob, press NAV, and then turn autopilot ON.
7. Keep an eye on your GPS and your plane should guide its self to the pink line (anytime now you should hear a series of Mores Code beeping).
8. Once you get inside the localizer array (the two green lines that extend outwards) turn the NAV/GPS switch to NAV and [if done correctly] your autopilot should guide you safely to the ground. Don't forget that THE VERY SECOND you hit the ground to turn your autopilot and airspeed hold off!!! (Well, unless you want to take off again).
