Is there a way to hold your plane in your autopilot to match the glideslope. If I set my Approach hold, it just keeps me lined up left and right. Can i make my plane hold the glideslope as well? [smiley=dankk2.gif]

You need to approch the glide slope from below then engage the approach hold, otherwise it wont intercept.

Okay, excellent. Thanks. Will the plane then pretty much land itself?

It will hi the deck at the right point...BUT...you'll need to increase the flaps and adjust the throttles so that it arrives with the right airspeed. Also you'll need to disengage the AP at the end and 'Flare'

Or you'll experience a very bumpy landing ;)
