I'm a newbie too; i can get evrything set up on ILS except capturing glideslope; i track in on localizer with NAV set to localizer course, but  when glide slope needle becomes active i punch APP but the plane never catches it-what am i doing wrong??

Hi!
The best way to catch an ILS is to intercept at 30
Thank God for let me fly!
