Basic Questions need help

Postby freddeew » Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:44 am

What is VOR
in Real life if the airport doesnt have a ils aproach and a ils frueqency how the fuck do they land, do they just land manually and hope it will be good?
Can you fly with the GPS, like write in a airport ID and then just fly with the flightplanner or is the GPS ment to just be a map and not a way to fly with?
On a b737 what is the speed you shall land with
wtf is a localizer?

Firstly please watch your language, Secondly VOR is "VHF Omnidirectional Range" for more information on how to use VOR Navigation use the in simulator tutorial, or you can find some great video tutorial's on youtube. As for landing at airports without ILS, Yes its done manually using different types of approach patterns again this can be found in the tutorial or youtube. As for GPS no real pilot would depend on GPS alone, it is just one of many tools that a pilot use's to get from A to B. Flying is a complicated business especially navigation. I hope this is of some help to you, and i'm sure you will get more help and advice from other's here.

As a follow up to your questions the Localizer is another method of navigation in and around airfield's to assist a pilot to put his or her aircraft on the correct path. As for landing speed's for a 737, this varies depending on aircraft weight, variant of 737 and airport altitude/weather conditions, speeds can be anywhere between 140 & and 150 Knots indicated airspeed.
