Title: ILS
Post by fontaine32 on Aug 24^th, 2010 at 2:27am

When i put ILS frequency in Nav1, localizer shows up but no glideslope.. Can't find anything in manual.. Shouldn't glideslope show up just like 727?? cheers..

Glideslope shows up on mine, but is hard to see, as it is just a narrow needle on the left.

I must have poor eyesight! I have looked but not seen a glide slope needle/marker. I've been using the runway approach lights. :D

EDIT: I went and did another short flight and sure enough, there it is! I must have missed it when I looked before. Maybe it was because I was so close to the G/S I didn't notice it there. Thanks Tim.

Can we see the ILS with ADI's flight director on manual approach ? On automatic approach it work but I don't find the way to make it alive without auto pilot engaged.

Not sure if the OP meant the indicator or that it actually didn't
follow the glideslope.

I have had more trouble with ILS on the 727 than this, working
perfectly for me.
