Assigning an ILS frequency...

Postby verbal » Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:27 am

...to a runway that does not have one, is this possible?

If so, does anyone know how?  ???

I think (and are 90% sure) it is possible if you use AFCAD 2, which is on the first or second page of FS 9 utilities.

Hope this helps,

Thanks mate

I assigned frequencies to RWY's 32 & 14 at Coolangatta (YBCG) and it all seemed to go well.

Upon testing I found that the ATC hasn't acknowledged the frequencies, it's still asking for a visual approach, (which I suck at) lol, and there is only a frequency for RWY 14, 32 doesn't show up at all  ???

Do I have to do anything else?

In AFCAD2, bring up your airport. Then click on Lists in the menu bar, then Comm Frequencies. You'll get a box listing what's there already. If there isn't a tower listed, then click on Insert, and the first option it gives you is a tower frequency. Accept, save, close.

Done and dusted.

By the way, you can also fly an ILS-type approach using a GPS Wide-Area Augmentation System, using a gauge to be founf at www.fs2x.com. It's great as a backup instrument when you're directed to a runway that hasn't got an ILS.
