Just found this page after coming back to FSX wish I'd come across years ago,would have saved much frustration. Excellent offering .Precise and to point. Very well done. Thank you. Clunskea.
merci pour ces très bonnes explications. Merci aussi pour votre très bon accent anglais qui m'a permis de comprendre presque tout ce que vous dites dans ce tutoriel. Thank you so much Sir!
Excellent! Firm, concise, informative, and no English redundant adjectives. Neither are there any megalomaniacal selfie inset screens. We don't want to watch some fat slob gamer talking, we want to watch and listen.Thank you for this treasure.

Thank you for this tutorial. I've made most of these mistakes at one time or another. I'm fortunate to have a friend who is a 737 pilot in real life. He said he didn't mind me asking him many, many questions. Here are a few things I learned from him. 1. a 737 intercepts the localizer at between 180 and 210 knots. This give the plane time to line up with the centerline. I tend to use 190 knots.2. The landing gear goes down about the time the plane intercepts the glide slope. If you deploy the gear just before landing, it can cause enough drag so that you're too slow at touchdown. (Watch how the real 737's do it.)3. Flaps are deployed in stages (a notch at a time) as the plane slows down on the approach and glide path. It keeps the approach smooth and even.4. a 737 touches down at around 130 to 140 knots depending on its weight. For SFX, I use about 135 which seems to work well in most circumstances.As in real flying, try to stay ahead of the aircraft by thinking ahead and being prepared for the next step. I also like to interact with ATC, as they will give you vectors to final, and altitude step-downs to the airport, and assign you a runway. I try to make it as real as possible.I agree with you, practice landing a Cessna 172 in ILS first, then transition to larger aircraft. I have a friend with a real Cessna 172 so I can tell you, getting the landing speeds right is important.
You're welcome. And thank you for the additional information. I made a realy long tutorial on the PMDG Boeing 737 airplane (in German) and a real 737 pilot would have helped a lot, but I think I did okay anyway.
Good tutorial. the best part is about beginners starting with heavy iron, without first learning with small aircraft. some beginners have not done that, and in addition don't know the correct speeds and settings, then wonder why the crashed, bounced, or missed the runway. although I am no beginner, I did not know the problem about intersecting the glide slope from too high (I always intersect at 3000 -3500 ft, so the problem you mention never happened to me). the point about the amount of fuel is also easily overlooked...
Ich find super, wie du am ende einfach über den Text "Besucht unsere Website" den neuen geklatscht hast :D nicht schlecht. Jetzt gibt es dass auf englisch und auf deutsch ;)
Well done......especially the admonition at the end that if you haven't learned and mastered ILS procedures in a small plane, the 172 for instance, don't be surprised that you'll probably crash and burn a lot in a heavy.. Danke !
Continuing to have issues with FSX SE and having aircraft on ILS lined up with the runway. Notwithstanding aircraft model, default or payware, despite all correct settings and instruments locks; aircraft and runway are not aligned so aircraft lands slightly to one side and if able small track adjustments need to be made to lineup with centreline.
It seems that the nav database and the scenery don't match. You may have an addon scenery installed wich has an offset to the default scenery and the navaids aren't replaced. Or maybe it is a newer navaid database installed. Did you try it on different airports?
Correct. The NAV 1 radio is tuned to the ILS frequency. Since the ILS antennas are actually mounted on the ground at the beginning (end) of the runway, it is much more accurate for an approach than GPS would be. GPS is good in positioning your aircraft but not good in getting the exact height. That is why you rely on the radio signals from the ground.
This is a great video!! I have a question though. In the 737 I don't hear the ILS morse code beeping, how come? It only appeared in the Cessna at the end of the video. Is there a way to turn it off? I just started FSX and I can't seem to manage to mute the ILS morse code while in a 737.
Hi Tim. You hear it, or you don't hear it?? In the 737, the Ident switch is located between the dialing knobs on the NAV radio panels. If you can't mute it, try the key combination CTRL-4 on your keyboard. I've heard that it helped in most cases. Good luck and thanks!
in my Lear 45, everything is loaded correctly however when attempting to land using the ILS, when exactly do I switch from GPS to NAV to the APP button......as sometimes my plane will overfly the runway , even if at 3000 feet alt..........thanks
@@FSXMultiplayerforum sorry, but I am new the FSX...... if I am using the programmed GPS course to get me to the airport, when exactly do I switch off the GPS and just how exactly will I know when I have intercepted the localizer and I'm below the glide path to press the " APP " button .....thanks
@@garyvale8347 Hi Gary! Unfortunately, the build-in GPS of FSX is not very reliable when it comes to the approach of an airport. So switch it off early. For a good landing, you should have the approach chart of that particular airport. Easy to find by using a search engine on the Internet. Just type “charts” followed by the ICAO code or the Name of the airport. There you can see the required distances, directions heights and so on for an ILS landing. Be sure to have the ILS frequency set on the NAV1 radio. How “new” are you to flying in general? It may be a good idea to join our Multiplayerforum => www.fsx-multiplayerforum.de/wbb3 to get more detailed help.

Why is 747 NAV button turning plane instantly when i press it on approach and doesnt even turn my plane on runway ? 747 has weird ILS approach... I set frequency and course but nothing goes well
Hard to tell without seeing your approach configuration. One guess might be that your scenery doesn't match with the FSX NAV database. How about trying it on a different airport?
FSXMultiplayerforum I did over 100 ils landings but its very weird that even out of ils range it turns to one side immediately ...but other planes do it well ...

You're welcome. ☺ My German accent is so terrible ...😐
first i didn't want to watch this whole video... low views and stuff.
but now i found the best video for ILS landing.
thanks bud!
You're welcome.
The Video footage is rather old. I only gave it an English comment ;)
merci pour ces très bonnes explications. Merci aussi pour votre très bon accent anglais qui m'a permis de comprendre presque tout ce que vous dites dans ce tutoriel. Thank you so much Sir!
Pas de problème. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès quand vous piloterez, et plain de bonnes atterrissages.

Sehr schön und sehr hilfreich für Anfänger. Toller Kanal!
Thanks for a good explanation of what's going on with the ILS. I never figured the mass of the larger aircraft into the equation
I'm glad to be of help :-)

That configuration for ILS landing doesn't require to us to input Approach data in GPS? like usual ? or just count to navigation system of airplane

GPS is good in positioning your aircraft but not good in getting the exact height. That is why you rely on the radio signals from the ground.
180 knots on landing is fast for a 737. I've landed at 135-145 knots in the simulator (PMDG 737)
Bravo 👏 grazie

It is important to intercept the localizer first and at an altitude below glide path.

That's odd. Might be a software problem. I have no clue.
Same issue me too.. only 747 can't able to land on ILS.
