| ok Im figuring out this little by little, but I still havnt got it yet and no one has answered my question on this site!!! On the ATP lesson "Full ILS Approach Lesson" , when I have crossed all the VOR's and on my way to the Nollan outter maker. It says to head on 323 corse but the caption says to stay on 326 and decend to 2200 ft at 200 knots. It actuall puts me off course of the outter maker. and once I reach the outer maker he fails me. It allways says im to far left or right even if I head directly to the outer maker or the Nollan NDB (BF) thats there he wont say anything and I can go on to the ILS lesson. Wats up wat the hell am I doing wrong. Is there any oneout there on this site who understands and can explain wat the hell Im asking. Im not talking about the checkride Im talking about the full appraoch ILS lesson. GEE I HOPE I GET A RESONCE. phrase deleted |

I haven't taken this checkride, so I am not of any help.
But I did google the checkride, and found some interesting help, and complaints.
I would try and see if you can get some answers through there.

| I don't understand the instrument displays much, so can anyone show me what's the ILS looks like on the PFD? I know ILS makes landing easier, but only if I understand. I also would like to know how it helps guiding down for landing. |

I am going to go out on a limb and make a guess that you are brand new to Flight Simulator. Based upon your limited understanding of how the ILS works, I would strongly suggest that you slow down and work your way up from a small Cessna and practice your skills there before you try to program the fancy computer of a "Heavy" aircraft. 
As a famous football coach said, "We are going to start with the basics. This is a football".

Well your guess is nowhere near, I got FS2002 Pro Edition like since 2004/2005 or a few years already but there have been nobody with pilot knowledge to teach me how to fly properly. I have trouble understanding most lessons on the Flight Sim games. So that made me a slow learner & I also hate little Cessna planes which might made more difficult to learn. I'll start taking your advice & try learning on basic smaller planes whether or not I like them.
Well like you say with football you start with basics, I like car racing & I have to say similar or the same too. You always start of with basics with a small slower & less powerful car to master until you work your way up to higher class cars. Like F1 & Le Mans drivers mastered so many different cars before they race the elite.

I bought my first version of Flight Simulator back in 2001 and have enjoyed flying with all of the versions since then.
You will encounter some super advice from many subscribers to Surclaro who have great answers to your questions. I have learned a great deal for reading other people's topics. However, I have observed that most of the Surclaro experts will probably encourage you to "read" about the topics that are giving you problems. We can try to point you in the right direction. However, searching on the internet, going to the library, or subscribing to aviation magazines seem to provide the best answers.
Here are just a few of my best "Words of Wisdom".
* Practice with a smaller aircraft until you feel comfortable and then progress to the larger aircraft. Even after you feel comfortable moving upto a larger or faster aircraft, make it a habit to go back to the smaller aircraft to refresh your skills and try new techniques.
* If you can, spend some time at a local airport and ask questions. Even the guys who are there with greasy hands and a wrench in their hand are always happy to talk to you and tell you their favorite aviaton stories. I am very lucky to have several very good friends at the local airport because I have become a very active volunteer at the local airport.
* Study the material in this excellent link.
http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ils.htm
* After you study about the ILS, study the other chapters from this same source.
I wish you happy flying. |
