GS Functionality issue

[fleurenf]

Hi Team,

I love flying the B733 but I'm having a hard time getting the aircraft to capture the GS.

 I'm on perfect approach with ILS frequency set, The GS marker reaches descend point but it just keep moving down. APP has been activated.

Anyone else is having this issue? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm missing a step in the procedure somewhere.

See this post. I do think you need to tune both nav radios to ils

Thanks @mjrhealth I always do set both to the ILS frequency but no change. There must be a step or procedure that I'm missing out on as this is a Classic aircraft afterall.

@Litjan, thanks for your response. What am I doing wrong in that case?

Is the autopilot you are using on the same side as the ILS receiver you have set up? The 737 distinguishes between "masters" for the autopilot and flight-director system, you will see a small MA light up on the side that is "master". 

The "master" side has to be the one that has the ILS tuned - for example if autopilot A is on, but the ILS is set up on the first officers side, it won´t "capture" (but it also won´t capture the LOC, so this is probably not your problem).
