Well, overall its a very nice approach. And your alot better than an a Guy who speends most on his life on FSX and who does not know anything about aviation "Cough" Couch" cessna154..
hey nice landing, u know wat, i used to land the same thing till one day i knew how to use ils and a few more things, most of the time i always land manually i just use ils for lining up to the runway the rest is all manual handling, cool video
come now necromancer and alongo34, "real" manual landings in commercial jets NEVER occur without the help of LOC and GS Diamonds. MANUAL landings in commercial jets on a regular basis occur using ILS, but the PILOT hand flies to the runway. Also, you should have noticed that the AUTOPILOT was NOT on in this video. He was following the indicators manually. Notice that the Autopilot button did not have a Yellow LIght meaning it was OFF.
It's one of those newbie FS mistakes that a lot make (including myself at one point) that ILS is equivalent to autoland. Took me some time to realize that ILS is just an aid and is separate from whoever is flying (eg. "George" or the pilot).
However you waited until the plane is on centreline at 1:30 before you made that correction. So by that time, the plane's momentum would have carried the plane through the centreline and you end up to the left of the centreline. This vicious cycle will repeat itself you don't anticipate.
BTW ignore looking at the RWY until the last moment, watch your F/D and the G/S LOC, follow the commands of the F/D, when the min call comes, start scanning all 3 things at the same time! That works for me!
Here's something that might help u. Assume that the LOC DIAMOND commands you to turn right to get back on GS track. Well as you initiate that small bank, you will see the LOC DIAMOND travel back to centre. BUT as it does so, you should already be straightening the aircraft out. If you wait for the DIAMOND to hit centre before you straighten out, then in the time it takes to straighten, the DIAMOND will be commanding a left turn. As timbuktu has noted, anticipation is key. =) good effort tho.
Good effort. But as mentioned earlier, as you go below 500' the G/S and LOC signals will get very sensitive so you need to anticipate your inputs.
For example, at 1:23 you are slightly to the right of cetreline. You made a small left bank to correct it (which is very good). At 1:27 you can see the plane is now regaining centreline. This is the point you need to anticipate - you should start banking right again to turn the plane back to runway heading so that centreline will be maintained.....
Very well put. I like the comments about anticipation. No big bank angle on the GS path otherwise u can end up with the good ol' continuous oscillation nightmare.
wtf my hand did start to shake why?

He was still using the ILS, just manually tracking it the entire time.

Thanks. Yup I used ILS to align myself too...

that is not manuly i can see the glideslope autodecenting i real manuly landing is with no autopilot

Hm, it is a manual land... the PFD shows FLT DIR instead of Land 3. and if it was autoland.. It would definitely landed nicely.....
