According to the MD-11 ITV video with Martinair...during the ILS approach the PFD shows a magenta line when lined up according to the ILS.However..I'm not seeing that line.What'am I missing / doing wrong? The correct ILS freq is entered in the FMC and the plane is on autoland (appr only)

When you enter that "very critical info" in the wrong way, the aircraft will not intercept the fake Loc Course.

That's why I was surprised that the plane even intercepted the LOC.Paul

OK Harry,Thanks for the info...will try it again later with the course.
