![]() Aircraft is established on ILS localizer.This concludes Intercepting the ILS Localizer This clears us to descend on the ILS glideslope.ĭo not descent without explicit clearance from ATC. Tower ATC will then give us clearance for the ILS approach to the target runway. When we are established on the ILS localizer (the lateral FMA shows LOC in green) we will contact Tower ATC and report that we are established on the ILS localizer (including call sign and runway). To help with this you can use the LOC button first (only localizer capture) and when cleared for approach press APPR Using APPR also arms the glideslope descent (G/S) and the aircraft will descend as soon as it captures the ILS glideslope signal.ĭo not descend without ATC clearance and only when directly on the ILS localizer path as only as obstacle clearance is guaranteed. For this illustration, it helps us to visualize the localizer signal path at 261° into the runway, which we are going to capture with the APPR mode. It is part of the FIX INFO feature which allows drawing distance rings or radial lines from navigation fixes. You might ask what the blue dashed line is. Usually AP2 is turned on at this point to have a redundancy on the approach, for the sake of this guide you can leave it off. Also, the lateral FMA shows LOC in blue (armed). The lateral ILS localizer scale shows the deviation marker moving towards the middle of the lateral deviation scale. The aircraft will keep the current heading until the localizer is captured and guides the aircraft towards the runway. Turn on APPR in the FCU to command the aircraft to intercept the ILS localizer. Our target is to be in CONF 1 and at S-speed by the time you need to set flaps 2 (CONFIG 2) before the glideslope intercept (S-speed will be slow enough to set flaps 2). The aircraft will then decelerate further to prepare for the next flaps configuration. Set FLAPS to 1 at about V FE -15 knots (but never before speed is below V FE) for the first slat/flap configuration ( CONF1). The aircraft should now decelerate to green dot speed. Set SPEED to Managed Speed Mode (push the Speed Selector). In APPR phase, the Autopilot together with "Managed Speed Mode" reliefs the pilot of a lot of stress by managing the speed according to flaps setting automatically (S-Speed after FLAPS 1, F-Speed after FLAPS 2, V app after landing flap selection). This is usually automatically done by the aircraft at a certain point during the approach, but we make sure that at this point at the latest it is activated. The ROSE LS Mode shows the deviation from the localizer approach heading path.Īctivate the APPR phase in the MCDU-PERF page. Optional: Turn on ROSE LS Mode for the ND (can also be on F.O.'s side). Make sure we are on the correct altitude (5000 ft in this example) and we should not have an approach angle larger than 30°. We find the correct frequency on the approach chart. Verify that the correct ILS frequency is tuned in the MCDU-RNAV page. To intercept the ILS Localizer, we follow these steps: or we are at a heading vector, altitude, and speed instructed by ATC.Īt the end of the Instrument Approach, (or by ATC vectoring) we will be on a path to the Final Approach Fix and/or a path to intercept the ILS localizer and eventually the ILS glideslope.Īs a last instruction from ATC Approach we are usually instructed to contact Tower ATC when fully established on the ILS localizer.at the altitude and speed from the chart (Final Approach Fix altitude and 250 knots if there are no other speed restrictions on the chart).We are within the IAP (Instrument Approach) and either:.Aircraft is set up for flight The aircraft is on approach shortly before intercepting the ILS and is still in phase and state DES as per previous chapters.ĭownload FlyByWire Checklist Chapters / Phases You will also find many great videos on YouTube on how to land the FlyByWire A32NX.Ĭheck out the FlyByWire YouTube Channel as well: FlyByWire on YouTube Aviation terminology and know-how is a requirement to fly any airliner, even in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
