I make a quick ILS tutorial that I think is better than either of those two, in that it cuts to the chase and doesn't make you read stuff you don't need to know to fly an ILS in Flight Sim2002.  It's also moslty visual (screen shots, not lots of text).  Quik & EZ.

Whiskey_Zulu I assume you're a GA pilot, the 737 might seem large to you guys, but it's not a heavy by any means  ;D

Good effort nonetheless

To further explain where Nexus is going.........from the pilot controller glossary: HEAVY -  Aircraft capable of takeoff weights of more than 255,000  pounds, whether or not they are operating at this weight during a particular phase of flight. The only exception to this rule would be the 757. It's not given a "heavy" designation by ATC, but it is assigned the same "wake classification", due to it's notorious nature.  ;)

Sorry, I left my pilot-controller glossary in my other G-IV.

I'll rephrase it to say "An airplane that, even though it isn't that big compared to a 747, still makes you puny weakling GA pilots back off 'cause you know who the big boys are."
