Hi

since I can fly FS9 in Wine/Ubuntu, I decided to fly an approach since ages again in FS9.

 

But how to activate/fly that? Could someone give me all needed steps cronologically, given I fly over any big airport. Selecting approach etc. I'm currently stuck that

I forgot how to catch the approach with the AP.

 

Thanks

Are you flying into an airport with an ILS?

 

You need to find the ILS frequency (via Maps) and enter this into the panel, with the correct course for the runway.

Hmm so I first set ILS frequency before selecting an approach?

- set frequency

- select appr

- activate appr

- set ap to appr

Than fly to first waypoint somehow, where it should catch automatically the appr?

Thanks and regards

Back to school again in the Cessna 172 Trainer!

 

Lots to learn...

 

How about trying the various lessons in FS 2004?

P.S. don't forget to dial up ATIS on the radio first, to obtain airport conditions, landing instructions, etc...
