February 26, 20215 yr N00b question. Is there a specific sequence in which LOC and APPR buttons needs to be pressed in order to intercept the localizer? I am struggling to do that in the 320 since the last two dev updates. Jacek G.

February 26, 20215 yr No need to press LOC on a normal ILS approach. From the FCTM: When cleared for the ILS, the APPR pb should be pressed. This arms the approach mode and LOC and GS are displayed in blue on the FMA. At this stage the second AP, if available, should be selected. If the ATC clears for a LOC capture only, the crew will press LOC p/b on the FCU. If the ATC clears for approach at a significant distance, e.g. 30 nm, the crew should be aware that the G/S may be perturbed and CAT 1 will be displayed on FMA till a valid Radio Altimeter signal is received.
February 26, 20215 yr Author Ok, thanks. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong then. ILS34R to DEN, frequency tuned in via MCDU, LS enabled and displays proper info, APPR enabled but it's not intercepting. Jacek G.
