That could be a little lengthy. The thing to remember is speed and altitude they are the most important things with course the next. I would suggest you start off in a single aircraft like the Cessna. When you master a approach in that then try the twin engine aircraft and work your way into the big JETS. If you go to the learning center there is a lot of information there. While myself or some one could tell you the way we do it, the best way to learn this is like you would in the real world. You start off learning straight and level flight first learning how to control and trim the aircraft and then go from there some learn quicker than others. There are all kinds of tutorials here and at other sites as well.
I wish you luck and a good landing. 8-)

Oh yea, what i found on the internet was;

Tune the nav1 to the runway's frequency (found on GPS), and just adjust the CRS Knob to the runway heading. Use the nav hold switch untill you intercept the glide slope. Then press the approach hold switch.



Bud if i try that, my plane flips out and crashes.  :'(

Do you create flights? if so, do you use the autopilot? Just curious to see what i should tell you  :P
Have you looked a the Map before and clicked on the airports?

Surely i do..

Ill check the runways heading. and i just create the flight yeah.

Bud its just the thing to approach i dont understand how to..  :'(

This is not what i call flying and as you discovered it does not work very well.
What you need to do is find out if the runway you will land at has a ILS frequency if so put that into nav1 and set the obs to the same heading of the runway. Then I generally use 1,200 feet AGL [glow=yellow,2,300]make sure you altimeter is set correctly [/glow] start off with 5 to 10 degrees of flaps and slow down accordingly start approach about 10 to 20 miles out further if you want then you line yourself up to the runway using NAV 1 to let you know where the glide slope is.
If any of this does not make sense to you there is no use to going on as you are trying to run before learning how to walk first. If you understand this let me know and i will continue 8-)

I fear you maybe trying to run before you can walk here, but, you asked about ILS approaches, so here goes:

1) Have a look here: http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ils.htm & here: http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ils-appr.htm This site explains the basics very well.

2) Take a look at this tute here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1111322151

The tute is done using the 737, but you really should be using something like a small Cessna to learn in, you'll learn a lot quicker & get less frustrated. Also make sure you well up to speed on what approach & flap speeds are used for the aircraft your using.

Cheers,

TSC.

Really Really thanks!!

Respect  ;D


Ill try the tuts.

Thanks matey  8-)

that second link is how i learned a while back. it helped so much

Easiest answer to your question is to spend time doing ALL of the tutorial flights.

Thank you very much peeps.

Bud 1 more question;

Does the approach automaticly line up with the runway?  :-[
