balus 43 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi, I've had a couple of ILS issues of late; basically I can't select APPR mode, it just won't happen - I have the correct frequency and course set but no dice (I am within 30 degrees of the course). I managed to land safely, but it would be nice to use an ILS and perhaps even an autoland Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Scott, Has this happened at a specific airport and when did the issue start. if you can provide me with a bit more info I will try and recreate your issue.

balus 43 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Steve, yesterdays flight was into YSSY, 34R. I seem to recall the other problem was with YSSY as well, 16L - hmmm. Can't put a time on when it started, I would have assumed that I had done something wrong and dismissed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, For APPR mode to work you need 3 things: - Make sure that you have the correct ILS frequency selected - Make sure that the Glideslope is active at the time of engaging the APPR mode - Make sure that the selected AP/FD matches the radio that has the ILS frequency set Could it be that this last part is where it goes wrong? When you are using FD2/AP2 the V/L mode and the APPR mode will use VOR2 as the reference for the ILS approach. Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLKVP 18 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Tested YSSY RWY 34R, no problems here selected V/L before capturing LOC and APPR being below G/S A/P and A/T disconnected at 200ft RA Regards Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
