I have performed a number of autopilot full flight and landings with great success, even being able to achieve a flare on a number of occasions. However, the past two flights I have performed (EGCC to EGPH) the landing is not working.
The problem seems to be that when I hit the "LOC" and "APP" command buttons, the autopilot fails to intercept the localiser correctly, with the 3 Autopilot lights failing to light up (only the 1 I pressed stays activated). It seems to descent in line with ILS approach charts however the landing is off to the right of the runway so that I end up landing on the grass or into trees.
I was wondering if it was anything to do with the IRS alignment but I am not sure how I would identify this. Im pretty sure that I have been entering the correct GPS position into the FMC so I'm pretty much out of ideas on how to fix this problem.
Would it also be possible that there is an error in the FMC data or something. I have the most up to date AIRAC data installed as well.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Does nobody have any tips - sometimes I am failing to even get the 3 landing lights to come on. Maybe advice as to correct procedures/what I can read would be helpful. Thanks
