Hello all,
I am new to the simulator. I have managed to land my plane with ILS, however my autopilot looks different to the ones I have seen in the tutorials. So the way I land with ILS (hope it is correct):
set a rough course in the direction
have the right ILS frequency tuned into NAV1
have the NAV switch to NAV
press APR
press ALT twice to get "ALT GS", this part is nowhere in any tutorial, but the way they do doesn't work for me
then it intercepts the glide slope and follows it down
Most of the times the lateral tracking is very bad, not following the course very well
Now to the GPS: I have noticed a difference from tutorials and my autopilot. To have the autopilot follow the GPS (flightplan), I have to set the NAV switch to GPS and press the NAV button on the autopilot TWICE?! That way GPS lights up in the autopilot. That works and the plane follows the flight plan. However as soon as I try to fly an GPS approach it doesnt't work. So that is what I do:
set NAV/GPS switch to GPS
make my flight plan to an airpot
follow flight plan, pressed NAV button twice
Press PROC
select GPS approach
LOAD it, because when I activate it the plane won't follow the GPS at all
Then I activate the approach and follow it
When the runway is directly in front of me, I want to press the APR button, but the plane doesn't follow the GPS approach. I can see the approach in the VOR/ILS approach but the autopilot doesn't follow it. It follows the heading bug roughly (it turns in the direction but doesnt't fly in the exact direction)
What's the problem, please help
