ILS Frequencies

[EHM-1437 Jon]

Hello everyone!  I am looking for a website with European ILS frequencies (and any airport around the world for that matter).  Airnav.com is good for US frequencies but my searches yielded no results for European frequencies.

Hello Jon,

I'm not sure how intend to use them but depending on whether you plan to use them on or off line here's the two easiest ways:
Offline: Just lookup any ILS rwy at the airport you are interested using the default standard FS Map. By clicking on a runway you get all its data like heading, elevation, ILS frequencies etc.

On-line: Again depending on network you can use the online resource like charts and maps but also by looking up the rwy info on the airport info pages. These apply to IVAO as I'm not experienced on VATSIM.

Other sources can be found from FMC add-ons like FSNavigator etc.

I intend to use them for landing.

Thanks for the help!  I found what I was looking for.

Hi Jon,

I would like to add a small warning here.

As long as you need FS to "use" the ILS frequency, it's good practice to check it on the FS map even if you got it from a valid / actual / realistic chart (and charts are easier to read, for sure, than the FS2004 map).

There is a probability that the frequency in FS be simply wrong or outdated. That's a very low probability in fact (only happened to me once), but I suppose the last thing you want is to do a go-around because NAV1 was not properly tuned.

Cheers
Andrei

I don't know if these are the real ones, but you can try this:

talking of ILS frequencies, something weird has happened to me recently with these. I tune the frequency in the NAV like you usually do, get the plane lined up, and then click it on so AP will then take me down the glidescope, but recently, whenever I switch it on, it throws my aircraft violently to the left, and sends me away from the airport. I just waited to see where it would take me, and it just turns me left, and then carries on in the new direction its turned the plane to.

I haven't changed the radio or anything. It's just suddenly started doing that. I've had to do visual manual landings for the last few flights, which is no problem, but like on the EHM 6th bday event, I was worried that since my ILS wasn't working, I might not make a nice approach, and then cause havoc, or I might crash after such a long flight. Luckily I didn't, but I just want this fixed for the future.

Hi Matt, same thing happened to me sometimes. I always use FsNav to fly and many times the ILS freq it gives you is different from the FS one (and maybe it just doesn't exist on FS), and my aircraft used to do that...

A similar thing can happen if you forget to switch the Nav/GPS switch back to nav before you select Nav to intercept the localiser.

This may sound very amateur and elementary but have set your 'course' according to the rwy centerline?
If not, then AP will try to line up to the selected radial.

This sounds very much like the Captain Sim 757 - I couldn't get it to work either, after trying a multitude of airports!

I "managed" to get the same behaviour once when I mistook the ILS frequency and set it for the opposite direction. In this case, the AP trying to correct the lateral offset triggers a positive reaction that results in a very lateral course - just as Matt said.

I suppose the same occurs if you set the frequency well but engage backcourse following. And there must be panels that don't have a "backcourse" gauge but it may still be engaged by inadvertent keystroke.

Ny the other hand, this does not explain a systematic behaviour so there should be other causes too.
