ILS vs visual

Postby sonic » Thu May 05, 2005 1:53 am

Just wondering How often Do large jets actually land visual approach I was thinking that most all the time They land ILS. Just curious. Large I mean 737 or above.

When the ILS is available, MOST will apt for this, but it is the pilots discretion, and also the pilots discretion on when to disconnect the autopilot, whether it be at 10,000 feet, 1,000 feet 200 feet or just autoland (if available)
