ILS guidance

Postby Sam I Am » Sat Oct 06, 2012 9:01 pm

When setting up an ILS approach by tuning the NAV 1 freq. and the CRS heading. Does your aircraft sometimes veer to the left or right of the center line of the runway on final approach? I assume it's a crosswind pushing the aircraft left or right, but what do you think?

I ALWAYS switch OFF the Autopilot on final approach,  re-trim, and land the aircraft with full manual control.
This overcomes any problems of the aircraft trying to land itself in the wrong attitude, and in the wrong place!
