How to Fly An ILS Using Autopilot | IFR Approaches Made Easy

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Love the Signature dig at the end. 😅

[@MisterMannIndy]

Just want to express my gratitude for making these videos. I am just a sim pilot who recently acquired MSFS 2024 and the new world of GA aircraft. I am coming to this after 20+ years flying combat sims and absolutely loving the detailed ATC and GA procedures. Learning a lot from your videos. I setup a similar flight plan into BWI and using your video to drill in IFR approaches using AP. Also using Chartfox to review approach plates ahead of the flight and following along with your video(s). I'd be lost without a resource like this. Thanks FlightInsight!

Not about the vid but just wanted to let you know that your vids got me through my ifr checkride yesterday! Love you and your vids!

[@LimaFoxtrot]

Great video and it's all basically the same on my setup with dual G5's and GFC500. The dig on Signature was the icing on the cake lol

[@shanelymullikin9062]

Signature's fabulously high ramp fee! Love it!

[@dylanhammonds5270]

usually turn heading first then activate vector to final then click apr mode in a matter of seconds while being vectored

Excellent presentation. Thanks

Thanks for the great video. Appreciate your content.

[@toddalangreen]

Really well done.

as a Gold Seal CFII/MEI, flying since 1997, NYC area, this channel has NOT been surpassed in terms of quality, thoroughness and value. Buy the man's programs. If you are not well versed in at least 90% of the instructions given here, you are just not "adequately prepared."

[@miket3445]

Just a query. When handed over to Tower and contacting them…….is there any requirement to let them know you are established on the ILS? Or is it sufficient to just say your call sign? Reason being that Approach would have already told the Tower that you have been cleared the ILS and they are going to hand you over to them. Hence reducing air time.

[@-The-Stranger-]

It's more important that they know and you know the runway and type of approach you're doing. Approach are humans too and could always accidentally give Tower the wrong approach. Everyone being on the same page is more important than 1-2 seconds of reduced radio time. Even if it is redundancy, aviation is made up of those.

I'm a little confused, shouldn't the altitude bug been set to minimums?

[@Flywithwatches]

If we are cleared for the ILS Approach Runway XX. I am on LNAV, going towards Initial Approach Fix at 1600 feet. My next altitude was 1500 feet. Can I wind down my altitude and follow the approach chart altitudes as published? Please advise. Some say we can’t while some say we can wind down to the published altitude since we are already cleared for the approach and on the LNAV route.

[@dylanhammonds5270]

if cleared yes

[@Flywithwatches]

@@dylanhammonds5270 is there a write up specifically that mentions this? Thanks! Any references or resources?

[@ramosandresc]

👍👍👍

[@JonCampos-kh2bw]

So you can’t just allow autopilot to do the landing?

[@user-oi8tg3dq7t]

Very few aircraft have auto land.

[@Midniteattack]

damn. I'm hand-flying all my approaches because my school won't spring for autopilot. Autopilot looks like a cheat code

[@JustSayN2O]

I hand-flew every one of my approaches during training even though I was renting a G1000 equipped C172. That's because autopilot *is* cheat code.

[@gamrguy0]

What happened to VATSIM?

[@firepilot109]

Good Vid!
