ILS issues at CYVR, Vancouver

Featured Replies

Hi all. Does anyone have the same issues or is aware of any irregularities with the ILS Z RWY08L at CYVR Vancouver? The Navigraph charts state 110.55 as the ILS frequency, but on approach the ILS does not respond at all, and i have to descend manually. I have replicated this in Zibo737 and Toliss A320N. I am not inputting anything incorrectly, as i know the ILS setup procedures. I am on XP12.4.3. Thanks in advance...

The frequency is 110.55 in X-Plane and it works in 12.4.3 (I just tested it) - so you may be doing something wrong. I would suggest trying a less complex aircraft, setting up a modern airliner to receive and display ILS indication is not trivial.

Thanks Litjan, i know the setup procedures for ILS approaches. Fly them every day. It is not the complexity of the aircraft, but an issue with the frequency (or something else) im guessing. The ILS frequencies work on the other approaches (08R,13,26L,26R). Just tested again...08R working perfectly, but 08L no ILS for me!

you dont have reverse ils enabled ?

It should not matter, since the frequencies are not the same for both runway ends. But just in case, I tried with "disable non used ILS" option on, and 08L transmitted, even though runways in use were 26...

Schoolboy error...navigraph airac cycle had not been updated. Updated, and everything working again. Thanks for the input.

One thing to check the freq quickly is to click on the ILS "feather" in the default map (set to IFR)
