August 10, 201114 yr Hi all, I have been reading all about autoland in 4.20.17 Vol. 2 with GS and LOC capture etc. and how to do single channel and dual channel and full autoland with flare rollout. I've been reading it in detail and fooling around trying out the different landing setups in FSX, but I seem to get inconsistent results when trying to do the full autoland. Can someone just real quick that understands how to set up a full autoland from LNAV/VNAV and from HDG/VS set ups. Just a short 1,2,3,4 list would be great. Like when to push the APP switch etc. I just sometimes get single channel land when I want a full autoland and I dont know why. Thanks Tom Norton
August 10, 201114 yr Do you have Both flight directors on? The first one you switch on becomes the master flight director.Do you have both nav radios tuned?Also both course selectors set to RW heading?Get this info from the INIT page as your charts may not agree with the database.Engage app mode before GS capture, engage second AP before 1500 feet I think.Flare will be armed on PFDDan
August 11, 201114 yr I did evrything you mentioned but and I get LAND 3 and flare, GS but it won't autoland it disconnect like 50, 100 feet above the runway and crashes.
