No DME info on PFD

1. Should I have both nav radios tuned to 109.9 at this point or is one radio sufficient (not doing a cat iii approach)?

 

One is enough. I set the frequency in the standby box in the other one.

 

 

 

2. Do I need to arm approach at this time also, and select CMD B, or is this not required for a standard ils approach ?

 

You can arm approach at this time, or just LOC and APP later. Other CMD is not required except for autoland.

 

 

 

3. At what stage should I disconnect the AP/AT to perform the manual landing ?

 

Whenever you feel comfortable with it. Usually I disconnect after stabilisation, unless I am flying the whole shebang by hand.

 

 

 

4. Should I be performing a full manual land on this type of approach, or a partial automated/ manual landing ?

 

I don't understand what you mean.

 

 

 

Once I have reported localiser capture, voxatc instructs me to report 4 DME. At 4 DME, I am transferred to another controller who clears me for landing. Hope this all makes sence ?

 

Yes. This is the equivalent of real-world "Contact tower at 4/5 miles/outer marker".

Thanks Fabo, it's good to know I seem to be on the right track. Disregard the question you did not understand, you answered it for me via one of the other questions. Time to give it another whirl, see if I can get it right this time.

 

Cheers
