Black Square Baron and ILS

Featured Replies

It's happened a few times now and I'm getting CTD just as the Baron starts to sniff the ILS, at least this is what I'm assuming. I get to within 15-20 miles of the runway and CTD ! (bloody annoying). I have the TDS GTN 750 included in my configuration. The NAV1 is already tuned. Peculiarly it does not happen on a RNAV approach. Anyone got any ideas ?

Since he's got the TDS it's PC only.

@thecanarian I use TDS and am not seeing this.

What airport and which exact approach?

"What airport and which exact approach? "

There were a couple in Belgium in IMC conditions (can't remember which ones) and more recently at St Athans in South Wales. But know I think of it, there is some issue (?) with its designation EGSY in its civilian form and EGDX as a military airbase I'll check it out again.

Ah. There doesn't seem to be a LOC signal or ILS transmitting at EGSY. I then used the ASOBO Baron and that will fly the "ILS" approach without there being an actual transmitted signal. Is this an undocumented feature of MSFS ? Are there airfields missing this ILS facility ??

sure, but mostly only smaller ones where there is no commercial airliner traffic. only 10% of all airports are equipped with ILS, as you can see from LittleNavMap. But MSFS still is missing a few real world ILS stations, like in your example at EGSY/EGDX. I assume this could be due to its 2 different ICAO names for the same airport.

EGSY does have an ILS according to the Jeppesen charts for rwy 25 on 111.150 MHz and LittleNavMap shows that correctly, but MSFS somehow does not. Have to check Navigraph if they have it. You can check in MSFS if an airport has an ILS in the world map if you have "Show Navaids" activated.

No ILS in world map for EGSY

only 4.405 of 41.167 airports have ILS
