Title: help need for making an ils landing
Post by rsperge on Mar 13th, 2011 at 2:17pm
before I never had a problem making an ils landing, usually I would put ils frequency number into nav 1 and nav2 as back up for examole 110.30 then wehn I am about the 25 to 20 miles out switch on the ils localizer,  slow plane speed down, and atc for examle would say make a 30 degree right hand turn 25 you are 29 miles out from the runway and go straight in. When I was about 10 miles out I out put on the  auto land switch and plane starts to go down. finally at about 5000 to 1,000ft I would take over and make the landing even if they plane was capable a making an auto land.

Now here is what is happening with the boeing 727 fsx which once again is a magnificant plane. I put the radio freqency in for the ils  for ex 110.50 nav1 and nav 2. I am using the autopilot By the way I use the heading swhitch to make turns rather than the turn and pitch controller. I now get the runway from atc  27l and put in the ils frquency numbers into the radio. I am on my way down slowing the craft. Now for example I am at 2,000 ft and this is where I start having problems. I click on the nsv loc switch and then finallly the auto gs, the plane starts to make a rapid decent, before I know it I am on the groud. By the way I am not using the flight director, maybe it has to do with the elevators or the altitude hold.

anyway I have read the manual and confused could someone give me a step by step procedure of what buttons should I touch to make this ils landing work, I dont need air speeds or when flaps go down, just
the procedure and I will be a happy camperfrom the time when I get the runway from atc.

thanks so much Ronny
