Title: ILS Landing in The 737-200 Basic
Post by Hero540 on Mar 25th, 2013 at 12:59am
Hey guys. Forgive me. I know most of you will wanna punch me in the mouth with the manual, or even Google or YouTube, but believe it or not, I can't find anything on ILS Landings in the 737-200.

I have read through the systems manual, and I found a small tutorial on YouTube about the basic operation of the auto pilot, but I'm still stuck on the more fine points of performing the ILS landing in the 200.

For example, I know in the FSX Default 737-800 you tune the ILS frequency for the runway you'd like, then you punch in the course, make sure your switch is set from GPS to NAV and then once you're below the Glide Slope you engage the approach. All is good and you line up with the runway, and viola. You're home.

My experience in the 200 is not so easy. I found the radio stack and tuned my radio to the proper ILS frequency. I then could not find the course setting knob or anything I figured might be related. So I used the Heading Select and set my heading to what I would normally set the course. I then made sure the AP was set to Auto App and it seemed as though the 200 started to attempt to line up to the runway, but, it had some issues and almost stalled, and I ended up hand flying it home to KPDX.

So, what am I missing? Can someone point me to a specific tutorial or a step?

I'm very sorry to probably be the 10 nanillionth guy to ask this, but thanks in advance!
