Using the radios to fly ILS Approach

[HolluH14]

I have recently been trying to fine tune my appraoches into airports in FS9 by using the radios to plug in frequencies.  I have checked the flying lessons section, but I can't find my information there.  Does anyone know what frequencies get plugged into the NAV 1 and NAV 2 sections of the radio stack? Thanks!

Welcome to Simviation, HolluH14.  :)

When within 30 miles, call up Air Traffic Control and they will assign you a runway. Then call up the Map, enlarge it, and click on your destination airport. A table should come up giving you full details, including the ILS frequency for your assigned runway. You can set that on either of the Navs, but NAV1 is normal.

This takes you through the whole procedure. Anything that' s not clear, just ask for more advice on here.

Why not use the GPS?
When you have made a flight plan it's automaticly inserted into the GPS.
So when I'm on my way to a destination, I bring up the GPS, and then I click the FPL button. There I can find all the waypoints of my flight plan and the last one is offcourse my destination airport.
So I check what airport id it has and then I click the FPL button again to get back to the "startpage" of the GPS.
There I click the upper right arrow at the corner of the GPS. Then I click PUSH CRSR and then the lower right arrow. This will allow me to type in the airport id of the airport I'm going to.
Then I press ENT, and then PUSH CRSR again.
I've now selected this airport in the GPS and by clicking the smaller arrows I can navigate through the different pages of information about the airport.
And one of these pages displays the different ILS frequences used at the airport.
Now you can either leave it at that page for you to check later when you get your assigned runway oryou can just click FPL twice to get back to the "startpage" again.
Then, later when you get your assigned runway, just click the upper right arrow again and you will come directly to the page with the ILS frequences.
Then, when you get the runway just check what frequence to use and then just tune it in at NAV1 and you're set for an ILS approach.

Why not use the GPS?

Because that's cheating

Because that's cheating

Cheating? Why?

[BFMF]

Because I only use navaids instead of the GPS, but I was just kidding

He knows that only certain runways can be approached on ILS right?
