How to use ILS in PMDG Beech 1900D

[EHM-1353 Mikkel]

Hey

I have all the rules with IFR working;D. But when the time comes for the landing, I have to land visual, because I cant get the ILS system to work:$.

I have the following questions:

1) Where do you see your place in the glide scope?
2) Where do you input your frequency (Nav 1 or 2)?
3) Which buttons do you activate (APPR or B/C)?
4) What instrument do you use?

Anyone has any good manual on the Beech 1900D and the use of the instruments.

Hope anyone can help me.

1. On your artificial horizon.
2.Both
3. none, you can fly it manually if you wish.

Actually not strictly true ... you only need to put the ILS in Nav1 - nav 2 can be used for an on field VOR as a secondary distance from airfield indicator or for a navaid in the missed approach procedure.

If you want to use the autopilot, do this:

Position yourself about 2000 feet above ground, at a 30-45* intercept heading that will intercept the ILS about 10 miles out - use the FS ATC, fly online, or use GPS to help - (you will have ALT and HDG buttons engaged).

When you are cleared for the approach, press the APPR button leaving HDG and ALT on. The A/P will then turn to line up with the localizer and HDG mode will disengage itself. When the glideslope centres, ALT will disengage, leaving only APPR - it will now automatically follow the ILS.

Also the localizer and g/s indications can also be seen in the VOR1/NAV/HSI display as well as in the AI (Attitude Indicator) but its probably easier to use the AI cos its all in one place then.

1) You see our place using the glidescope vertical and lateral needle relative to the middle of the glidescope ramp.
2) Nav 1.
3) You activate APPR to lock the vertical and lateral mode on the autopilot for cat 3 landing.
4) You use a relation between flaps, airspeed, altitude and distance from threshold. All of this must be checked on the approach chart.

oh dear:$ sorry, was a bit too simple.

What happened to the good old manual flying?

thats what my section was hinting at, the sheer basics, however it was a bit basic i must admit
