JS41 - Arming Approach

Featured Replies

First, I want to say thanks to Capt. Randazzo and the JS41 development team. The JS41 is incredible and I have really been impressed by it. I think you guys definitely have a winner in the JS41.After I bought the JS41, I read the manuals and completed a few flights by following the tuturiol line by line. After that, I did some custom flights on my own. When I tried a vectored ILS approach, I could never get the autopilot to capture the ILS. I went thru all the steps outlined in Chapter 4 of the AOM (set inbound course, ILS freq set as the active freq, V/L mode selected in the EHSI display controller, HDG and APR autopilot buttons selected). I also followed page 91 of the tutorial which states "LNAV to Vectors to ILS Transition: If your approach controller takes you on a vector, simply dial the heading into the heading bug and press the HDG button on the flight director controls. The airplane will turn to follow the heading bug. If you are being vectored onto an approach, you should press the NAV or APR buttons ONE TIME to arm them to capture the LOC/ILS when it is available. When not navigating in LNAV, pressing the V/L button will bring up the HSI course needle on the EHSI." As I approach the ILS, I have HDG, LOC, and GS displayed on the EADI and the APR button is displaying "armed" and the HSI course needle is displayed on the EHSI. But I always fly right thru the beam for some reason wtihout capturing it.In the tutorial, the LNAV route is followed all the way to ILS intercept, and if I do that (instead of getting vectors to the ILS) it works no problem. The moving map automatically changes to the HSI display and the ILS is captured. But if I am following a heading vector to the ILS, I cant seem to figure out how to get it to capture.I know I am doing something wrong and its not a bug. I do not enter an approach/arrival in the FMS for a vectored approach (just the destination airport) and that may be the problem. Does anyone have a simple step by step procedure for flying a vectored ILS approach?Any help appreciated,Gary Merka

Let's with easy stuff...- Is the ILS displaying correctly?- Do you have the AP on (pedistal switch)?A screen shot would help as well.
