X-Plane Tutorials - How to fly an ILS

[umter]

Great video. Useful for my level! I've been using VFR or autopilot (always wondering how to intercept a g/s.) And now i know! thanks very much! Keep 'em coming!

[DeltoraWar]

Great video. Could you send me the link to for the aircraft?

[DeltoraWar]

Awesome video. Could you please send me the link for the aircraft that you used.

[141gregmor]

Could you send me the link to this aircraft please

[wassabio5]

Can you control it on keyboard

[tatedarius1]

@wassabio5 You can, but it's better to use a joystick.

[roger201288]

Ok

[Xplanefollower]

the problem is that it does not line up and bring my plane down to the runway but it does go to the airport why?

[Noumi95]

How do you control the plane with the keyboard or mouse or what?

[TheAPerson12]

@Noumi95 a joystick would be best to control with.

[sztukowy]

Well, the tutorial is good, but you didn`t land the plane, you actually crashed it.

[Publik]

Great work and thanks for the tutorial I couldn't find the white lines either but at this time I'm only using the demo waiting for the program to arrive. Perhaps with more choice of planes I can find the white lines. Every Best Wish

[steveSPAZ12]

I'm having trouble using xplane ils on iPad can you help me please and I'm confused using the localiser so please help

[EliasLePure]

Your video's are soo good!!

[BIGAL2627]

VERY GOOD INFORMATION. HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FLY ILS FOR SOMETIME

I GOT IT NOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE INFORMATION ON PAPER NEEDED A LITTLE HELP

[iloveumyra]

I am having troube with the guide slope...the localizer moves to the center but the guide slope doesnt activate...it only did it once out of several landings...any advice?

[lambergine13]

coool

[iloveumyra]

i am having trouble using the ils on my x plane phone app...do u have a tuturial for this?

[234576739]

@iloveumyra The app for x plane on the phone, from what I know, does not have the same features as the x plane desktop version.

[6250valtra]

@HighDefinition339 didnt know that, because someone said me they use ils only to low visibility, but in good visibility they land by hand, thats what i have heard.

[skillsz0rs]

@6250valtra

Maybe on the final, but pilot's fly the approach to the runway via ILS, always.

[XPlaneTutorials]

@skillsz0rs Depends on the weather. Pilots usually fly a "visual approach"(By Hand) during good weather, but when the weather is worse, pilots fly via the ILS

[XPlaneTutorials]

@skillsz0rs Depends on the weather. Pilots usually fly a "visual approach"(By Hand) during good weather, but when the weather is worse, pilots fly via the ILS

[skillsz0rs]

@XPlaneTutorials

Actually, not on busy airports.

[XPlaneTutorials]

@skillsz0rs Yes, at busy airports, pilot most often use visual approaches

[skillsz0rs]

@XPlaneTutorials

I actually mean to the point minimums, glide-sloping is very useful when planes fly 3nm behind each other.

[natecat33]

no u dont ils does that for u. you dont have to the ils will do everything if u have autobrake and autothrottle

[PIAmanager]

Great video but I am a pilot and you disengage the autopilot once you are over landing lights on the runway and then flare the nose.

[kajando7]

fuck u dike or what ever the fuck kinda species u r

[flipflop741]

can you tell me how to refuel the a330 because i want to go from KLAX-LIRF thank you?

[togetherweareunited]

White line never appears, i have it set to nave 1 and on auto pilot. Do I need to have it headed towards airport or does the plane find that too with tha ills coordinates? Or do I have to find the airport and go into it in the direction of the runway for it to locate the while line?

[tinithomas]

I never get that white line!?!?! can somebody help?

[XPlaneTutorials]

@tinithomas make sure you have your Nav Source set to Nav1

[tinithomas]

do you have your source to GPS or nav1?

[12345Murl]

What aircraft is this? Where did you download it?



[XPlaneTutorials]

@12345Murl This aircraft is from Alliance Airways, The virtual airline i fly for

[xXiMoDmYiPoDXx]

@XPlaneTutorials Hey man! I love your videos! Great tutorials! Could you please send me a link via mailbox to download this aircraft? Thanks man!

[racear8]

Do they usually land by hand? or always ils, because why use ils if the weather is great?

[LittleLuckk]

@racear8 Pilots land with the ILS, not by hand.

[6250valtra]

@LittleLuckk I have heard in bad weather they use ILS, in good weather they fly by hand, i dont know but i have heard so.

[TheAnonimoItaliano]

Umm...

Have you IVAO???

If you want to fly online with more realism, you have to register, download Ivao-X and enjoy!!!

Please, if you download it, do a tutorial.

P.S. Sorry for my english, but I'm Italian.

[lukeshurtleff4]

@TheAnonimoItaliano Not to bad English if I must say

[XPlaneTutorials]

@TheAnonimoItaliano I use VATSIM, in my opinion, more realistic than IVAO

[XPlaneTutorials]

@TheAnonimoItaliano I use VATSIM, in my opinion, more realistic than IVAO

[TheAnonimoItaliano]

@XPlaneTutorials Ok, thanks :)

[newyork68100]

What plane is that van u give me the adress?

[Julman75]

dude thanks for posting those videos. I just have a question: when i enter the frequency of ILS in NAV1 and press LOC, i don' have those white bars... Any suggestions? I tried with both the 747 and the A 340 so i'm guessing i'm doing something bad

[dirtygangler3200]

i know how to play i just dont know how to fly the space shuttle

[Dragalug]

@dirtygangler3200 You dont get to fly it... or take off you can just do a re-entry or full re-entry which is just landing it and that takes a few hours....

[10mateoo]

Where did you get that scenery?

[AikidoBoy100]

You boosted the throttles before you touched down. thats a no no. Elevator trim would be beneficial aswell....

[pricelessppp]

WHEN ARE THE IPAD TUTS OUT

[GreatInca]

@KirkHammettable California Airlines uses a lot of airliners from x-plane freeware project. They only add their own paint liveries.

[Nasser16]

You are an absolutely terrible teacher/instructor.

Please dont wasste your time. You dont seenm organized and you have terrible communication/presentation skills. What ever made you think that you are capable of instructing anyone??

[futureb737pilot]

you gave it way too much power upon the short final

[CuBeWaRs]

The cheesiest intro ever created.

[Blink182009]

you have the ugliest/most disgusting/horrible sounding voice I have ever heard. I feel bad for you

[nick15184]

@runpat12 u need 2 toggle 3D cockpit on. I'm not sure of what the keyboard shortcut is though.

[runpat12]

@nick15184 thanks :D

[runpat12]

how do you do to move the caamera in the cockpit freely. please respond

thank you:D

[winsun96]

if you were in a 777-300ER, this would already be an tailstrike for this long and high flare

[1easterling3]

wtf is an ILS, btw this is so cheesy, but very, very good :)

[rhysmorrison]

@1easterling3 An instrument landing system (ILS) is a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals

[chavelovski1]

Long flare!!!!

[rddaos]

You didn't mention in your video that you have to be lined up with the runway to intercept the localizer. That's a very important ommission! I don't think the aircraft will intercept the localizer unless you are already pretty well lined up.  at least my x plane aircraft ignore the ILS unless you are in aproach mode and lined up.

[plavins1]

i still play x-plane 6 , but my pc can run x-plane 9 lol.

[evsynator]

This seems so much smoother than Microsoft FS .

[RandyJ007]

not too bad at all... my only suggestions: get the actual approach plates for your destination airport (instead of using 3000 ft msl as a default app alt); and your speed at touchdown should be Vref + 5 (Vref is usually 1.3 times the stall speed)... but a good video nonetheless.

[5455hunter]

Thank you for the video it help a lot

[salv0dynasty]

do you use the keyboard or a joystick?

[tiufang]

you are landing on a cat 3 airport it can land automaticly

[gvcsmnfhjk]

You made a hole account for this...nice!

[jba199456]

i like the airplane where did u get it



[onenicewormitsar]

HOW HE TURN ON LOCALIZER? HE SAY SOMETHING LIKE "UNPASS" AND LOCALIZER IS ON(LETTER P ON SCREEN).

[llcyee]

@onenicewormitsar "unpause" not "unpass"

[woarboar]

Pretty good but you lowered the gear too fast. Normally you lower gear around 500 to 1000 feet AAL depending on procedure. Normally you don't need to disengage autopilot completely depending on the CAT 1, 2 or 3 your aircraft can handle. If it can handle cat 3 it should be able to perform an auto approach and landing however you might need to guide the A/C manually during roll out. If not cat 3 equipped it is sufficient to dissengage the GS/LOC but you could keep autothrottle on untill idle.

[singingify]

soz but are you a girl

[XxiMattxX]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am a noob at this game but now I can actually land the plane by myself!

[rockinallnightlongOB]

this is a great tutorial but i can't seem to get the vertical white line on my screen and i have no idea why!any suggestions?BTW:im flying a 777-200

[arkkanus]

@rockinallnightlongOB same problem here...

[rockinallnightlongOB]

this is really helpful but the problem is i can't get the localizer to show up on panel in my 747!any help?

[iJakeTV]

What scenery do you use for KLAX?

[waynehowie]

Thanks for taking the time and making the video. Great job.

[yankovic44]

yay!!! for the first time since i got my first x-plane, (about 4 years of playing OFTEN) i flew my first successful unassisted flight from denver intl, to orlando intl! took me 2 hours, and i flew by auto pilot that you taught me how to use! and landed how you taught me to land. yay! btw, i didn't get to land by this system you teach here. it helped me with other landings, i couldn't use the auto land... so i had to land it manually. but props to you dude!!!

[CathayGuy]

I like how official you are, not to many people are like that!

[dillonyosten]

I have a question, why do you fly with x plane? why not fsx? Fsx looks a whole lot better than xplane

[yankovic44]

@dillonyosten i agree only on it looks better, but x-plane rules more because it has the most accurate flight modeling, that is where FSX drops away. x-plane is very accurate with the aerodynamics and the airplane handling, that is why (i suspect) the Xplanetutorials guy and i use it.

[TimTehPilot]

im confused if this is a boy or a girl hahahha

[hooless]

@TheoVanDerDeer Make sure that your NAV 1 radio is active. and you also turn the Flight Director source to Nav 1

[adamwyn777]

How do u get the full screen local map? Mine is just a small section.

[supersaintsfan31]

I dont get the white line thing, what do i do?

[rockinallnightlongOB]

@supersaintsfan31 i don't get the white line thing either!ive been trying to figure it out but i can't

[supersaintsfan31]

@rockinallnightlongOB Haha! IDK WHAT TO DOooo

[rockinallnightlongOB]

@supersaintsfan31 i figured it out. i just flew my first ILS landing without knowing it. i was in a 787 Dreamliner. I found out not all aircraft show the vertical and horizantal lines. i used this link to help figure out. Hope it helps.

[supersaintsfan31]

@rockinallnightlongOB Thanks man! btw the 787 OWNS!! haha

[Mephiles55510]

so wait once the glide slope is activated do you need to fix the altitude or does it do that on its own?

[guilhermerrrr]

haha too high isnt?? ;D

[sirohishivendra]

Which key is the substitute for "loc" in b747-400 cockpit. The cockpit has nothing like "loc". ??????????

[TERRANCIO]

@sirohishivendra Yes it does! maybe it says Vor/Loc, to the right of the ALT button on top of APP!

[Nikedude109]

Noice tutorial :)

[philipjohnfranco1]

what kind of plane is this?

[macintologist04]

How exactly do you approach an airport when you are cruising at 36000 ft? Like how many miles out do you descend, how do you set the autopilot to descend?

[hooless]

@macintologist04 Usually I just figure about 3 miles forward for every 1k ft down @ about -1800 to -2000 V/S

[spockari]

I still think the tutorial is very informative and will help many of us who like to just sort of play. After all, we are not carrying passengers. Thank god for that.

[markelliot1979]

Land it manualy you useless yuppie, sunday drivers. Full flaps 170 knots, final aproach 300 feet , cut engines and land at the START of the runway, not half way down it. Jesus chist!

Whats the point of simulators if it flys itsself. L.A.Z.Y, laaasssyyy!

[Sarpooll]

hey you do have a point and thats why i hate airbus, BUT what happens why you need to land in 300 ASL visiblilty, and i think most airliner pilots use and ILS to land, at major airports...

[allenwong2]

@markelliot1979 U are right markelliot. and also something to add. When he zooms the camera, the 2-D cockpit doesn't zoom it stays the same! No Virtual Cockpit!

[lodagoda]

I'm new to X-plane. I was wondering what type of cockpit and aircraft do you use.

[JokingTheJoker]

HOLY HELL this is awesome! I wanna do this! You all probably think I'm an idiot. Ha.

[Tank797]

to land ? to approach LOL

[Rother89]

Dude i am a pilot and this is actually what we do for an ILS Landing. Also this game is certified by the FAA.

[houmam52823]

what aircraft is this?

[lixbeyond]

what aircraft is this? and where did you get your wallpaper from it awesome!

[jackgrocks]

wow. that is not how they fly it. you don't hold 3000' on runway hdg for 3 minutes. It should be you descent to 3000' right before or right onto the glide slope so their should be a close to continues descent to the runway. That limits the noise pollution.

[charlieechovictor]

@Jackgrocks... you're wrong !!! she is doing it right...

[jackgrocks]

@charlieechovictor well its not "TECHNICALLY" wrong, but she did use way more fuel than she needed to because she held it at 3000' for so long.

[charlieechovictor]

@jackgrocks well generally to intercept the glide you're at an average of 12nm from the threshold. So maybe she did actually maintain three thousand feet for a little long but on request from control tower and if you are sure too land at destination without diverting and you far long from the reserve Fuel QTY there no problems. But for a matter of ecology and economy it is surely non recommendable.

Bye

[jackgrocks]

@charlieechovictor yep. i completely agree. in some situation it may be necessary, but those situations would arise in XPlane, and only would happy during traffic in realworld.

[charlieechovictor]

@jackgrocks then we have came to an agreement :D

[plavins1]

Thanx a lot i subbed!!!

[gretta900]

dude u should be a pilot

[brandtaylor93]

I can't get the interceptor lines?

[pilotocezar]

Hey man, you've got talent. But one tip for you to improve your IFR skills: this 3,000 ft is not a randon number, each airport has its own procedure of interecept the ILS, so I strongly recomend you to loof for this charts and learn how to use them. There you can find frequencys, altitudes and headings. Other thing.. Usually, on an ILS CAT I the autopilot is switched of at 500 ft AGL, but this can vary a bit. If you need anything, just ask!

[Tatikrae]

Thanks a lot! I am a total noob in X-Plane and managed to land with ILS.

One thing is that I can't understand. Sometimes the "Loc" button doesn't align the plane properly with the runway. Autopilot clearly takes over I can see that it does some kind of aligment (and light on the button also turns from orange to yellow), but in the end it is at a slight angle with runway. In this case the horizontal bar never appears and I can't press the "G/S" button.

But other times it works fine...

[Tatikrae]

Sorry, it was my own mistake. I forgot to switch source to "nav 1". It was on GPS and I had the airfield set as waypoint in the computer. Thats why G/S didn't activate but the plane was flying towards airfield

[jackgrocks]

make sure the course heading (CRS) is at the same as the exact runway heading, which you can find on some charts.

[pjm5678]

awesome! subbing right now

[Olseanic55]

good video...but what it means that yellow m that appears...and the whit i.....???THANKS

[TheILAIR]

Great tutorial! i like it very much thx

By I-LAIR

[billteix]

i must say you do some of the best tutorials i have found on youtube. I have both xplane and fsx. Keep up the good work.

[XPlaneTutorials]

I got it for flying with a virtual airline called california airlines... search it on google.. its a 737-400

[gfinn08]

@XPlaneTutorials most of my planes dont have a glide slope button is there any other way to land ils without it

[XPlaneTutorials]

Yes I do.. under the callsign of CAX206 and my id is 1061646

[danklaue]

This is very informative! I like the music as well. One question: did the sound cut out towards the end?
