I am having trouble useing The Ils Approch gauge in the Boeing 737,747,777,757 which shows me if I am in alighnment with the runway, so I can land. I keep missing the runway and then I have to circle the Airport several times before I am alighned correctly to land. There is no Flight Lesson for landing a jet. Could you please tell me  How to use this gauge. or if there is another way to align myself correctly with the runway.

                            Thanks

A couple of questions come to mind
do you have the correct frequency and course heading set on nav 1.
The ILS gauge has two lines one keeps you on the center line of the runway the other keeps you on the glide slope.
Sounds to me that you are drifting high on the glide slope.
Try turning on the visual glide slope and practice flying down the boxes while paying attention to the ils gauge watch the arrow that goes up and down if the arrow is above the center line of the gauge it means you are to low and if it is below the center line you are to high.
As far as lessons go the lesson for the cesson will teach you how to use an ILS gauge. The gauge for the cessna is harder to use than that of the jets because it uses needles instead of lines if you can master the cessna gauge than the ones for the jete will be a piece of cake.
Try reading reading the info on how to use the ILS gauge in the library section this should help a lot

I think your problem could be comming in and lining up with the ILS coarse. Never come in on your final to establish ILS at an angle greater than 45
