boeing247 asked: I think there's just one last thing: how do you get the ILS feathers to appear on the HSI? I watched a video for a different company's 767 (so I don't know if you can do this on Captain Sim's) where the HSI displayed a dashed white line which represented the ILS feather.
The term ILS feather refers to the
drawing of the LOC and G/S on an approach plate.
The dashed white line is the extended center line of the runway selected for the approach.
As you fly your trip on the FMC you stay on the Magenta line - your flight plan.
You can extend the final course if you are being vectored or you can just fly
to the canned places on the approach.
Above, for example, you can see the HAR VOR on both the approach plate and on the FMC.
You could be directed to fly direct to the HAR VOR,
maintain 2,800 feet, cleared for the approach RW 13.
Maintain 2,800 until established on the LOC.
