September 14, 200817 yr Can someone tell me how to do this in a heavy, or point me to a good, easy to understand and not overly verbose tutorial? It doesn't happen often and I do hit the backcourse button on the autopilot which gets me set on the localizer, but am I correct in assuming I'm on my own to set the descent rate myself? That there is no glideslope in a backcourse ILS signal?There is so much that humbles me in this hobby! Thank you, folks! Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.
