September 30, 201213 yr After taking a 2 month break from the 737, I decided it would be a good idea to refresh my skills with the aircraft by completing tutorial 1. I have done everything right up to the point where i was unable to descend to the runway and I had missed the approach. I believe the step i missed was I could not figure out how to do this and i believe it was the reason of why I missed my approach. If someone could explain this to me or even post a screenshot I would appreciate it. Thanks! ~ Corey _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Corey
September 30, 201213 yr I believe the step i missed was Definetely that wasn't the cause of your porblem. You might not intercept glide slope or missed other things. If someone could explain this to me or even post a screenshot I would appreciate it. You can set it up using mins knob on this panel near MCP. Rostyslav S Wanna fly 737NGX with turbulence?

Thanks! But I am still do not understand what I did wrong could it be because i set the HGS wrong? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Corey
September 30, 201213 yr i was unable to descend to the runway Precision or non-precision approach, flying manually or autopilot? Could you elaborate? Daniel Nilsson

Could you elaborate? precision approach i was not flying manually all auto pilot. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Corey
September 30, 201213 yr Ok. In order to help, I need to know which approach and how you set it up. Daniel Nilsson
September 30, 201213 yr Tutorial #1 is an autoland if I recall, so did you have both Command A & B on and the ILS frequency tuned in both in NAV1 and 2? Did you also capture the G/S and arm the approach? Jason *** Disclaimer: Any resemblence of my views & tech advice to reality are purely coincidental.

Did you also capture the G/S and arm the approach? Yes it is a auto land approach, I had both command 1 & B on but i did not have the ils frequency tuned in on both NAV 2 I did not put in the ILS frequency on the right side nav2 and I am assuming this was the problem? (the picture is from tutorial 1) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Corey
September 30, 201213 yr I had both command 1 & B on but i did not have the ils frequency tuned in on both NAV 2 That's impossible. Looks like you've been flying enitre flight on CMD A, then pressed CMD B, it turned on, but G/S mode was disarmed. Rostyslav S Wanna fly 737NGX with turbulence?
September 30, 201213 yr Author That's impossible. Looks like you've been flying enitre flight on CMD A, then pressed CMD B, it turned on, but G/S mode was disarmed. Yea I used CMD A the whole flight then turned on CMD B for landing. So i had the glide slope disarmed which would explain why I did not descend toward the runway but instead floated over it at about 2,000 feet? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Corey
October 1, 201213 yr Did you engage the VOR/LOC and APP modes? If you don't do that the descent stops at the altitude limit that you've set on the MCP, which could have been 2,000 feet.
