May 13, 20224 yr Still new to the 737 and learning, ive been on the a32nx and CRJ Every time ive been on an ILS approach with the 737, its approached way too high, than at the end just completely gone above the target altitude, even though the diamond to indicate your approach says its perfect. In another forum they said this was the plane automatically doing a go around at a non-auto land capable airport/minimums. Ive tried auto land capable airports and tried lowering/changing minimums but nothing works, and the plane goes above the approach way before the minimums is even called, any help? Thanks!
May 13, 20224 yr Sorry no help but now that I read your post I remember I saw the same. Did fly PMDG‘s 737 for FSX many years ago and since 3 yrs primarily the FBM. So I lost my 737 capabilities. Did some 20 flights in it by now but still not figured how to properly fly an ILS approach or let alone autoland the 737. and no, of course I did not RTFM as I consider myself type rated for the 737 😉. Seriously, I brought her down in all cases manually and that is really fun as I believe it behaves and flies just great. Nonetheless if anybody can point me to how to setup the autopilot for a proper ILS approach I would be grateful.

May 14, 20224 yr There's yards of YouTube videos showing every conceivable approach performed by type rated pilots. I would suggest you watch some of those.

Plane was doing well than at the final 200 feet it went way above the target and than it disconnected autopilot and crashed

Also, if you go through the included PMDG tutorial, it ends with an AP Autoland (with HGS) into KSFO. Worked out perfect when I did it.

May 14, 20224 yr Maybe post a video of what is going on. It could be a number of things and without the video it would be us assuming you did this or that. Help us help you. I have flown several AP flown and hand flown ILS landings with zero issue since the launch so I know the plane can do them easily.
