Hi,
Big planes, like 747 or 777 do not hold the glide slope in Approach mode. Why is this? What is the best way to make an autoland? I have AT and AP connected.

Do you have NAV1 set to the right freq. and turned on?

hi,
insert the correct runway frequency into the nav1 radio. than hit nav and switch the nav/gps switch to nav. put the AP on and see what it does.
also, when you want to land using the ILS, enter the ILS localizer not too high (max 2-3000ft), otherwise your radio won't intercept it

Yeah height matters alot aswell, if your too high you won't intercept, or i find if your too low it's hard to maintain a good final descent and speed. ATC usually tell me to be at about 2,200.
