WILCO Airbus going below G/S on ILS

Featured Replies

Everyone,I've been having issues Autolanding both the Vol1 and Vol2 of the Wilco Airbuses. The plane captures the LOC and the GS but then goes below the GS and lands 300 to 400 feet before the runway. Experimented at different airports with different airbuses and same thing.Anyone have any solutions?Zeke

I replaced the autopilot section in the aircraft.cfg with another plane's. That solved the issue for me.

Which plane did you switch it for? I've tried PMDG, IFly, PSS and other feelthere aircraft and still have the same issue.

If using real-time/world weather be sure you have updated the barometric pressure setting ( B on keyboard) before starting the approach. If all aircraft are doing this that may be the culprit.Bill

Checked the barometer setting, still doing it. Any other ideas guys?

ASE, REX, ActiveSky Evo and that's it. With the airports I've tried it at a ton of default and payware and freeware and still the same result.

Maybe try adding 5 knots to your final approach speed? I'll post my autopilot section for you when I get home.

Hi there,Maybe fuel on board? remember, a plane came to land after a flight, most of the time with very little fuel on board, if you take a plane just to fly around the airport for a couple off touch and goes, will have the tanks nearly full, and this could be the reason!!best regardsCub 51
