When RC says "cleared to runway xxx,fly heading xxx till established on the localiser" does that mean you will not receive any more vectors and will need to choose your own intercept heading to capture the glide slope?Often I am given a heading which takes me away from the glide slope when rc says "cleared....."and i wait for instructions but no more come.I am then left struggling to adjust headings or end up asking for missed approach.Am I doing something wrong?Thanks for any adviceJay

Hi Jay,When you hear that instruction you should be flying 30 degrees away from the runway heading. You should have the ILS tuned and set correctly so that as the localiser indicator starts to move you turn the aircraft so it's aligned with the runway heading. You will not be given any more heading instructions.It's down to you to control your descent using the glideslope indicator. The next instruction you'll hear is to contact Tower.Cheers,

First a little terminology clarification :) :A precision approach has horizontal and vertical navaid guidance. The horizontal portion is called the localizer and the vertical portion is called the glide slope. A non-precision approach has horizontal only navigation of some kind. If you are receiving reverse LOC indication at only some airports you might be experiencing the infamous FS shared frequency dual LOC bug where localizers at each end of the runway have the same frequency and by default in FS have backcourse enabled.There are two solutions to this dual active ILS problem:1. Insure you are on the correct LOC by checking the ident on your navigation display or receiver audio (Morse code is published for each navaid on the charts.). As you continue your intercept course and you near the extended line of the runway the correct ident should appear.2. If you have an airport you use frequently that has this problem download AFCAD v2.21 freeware from the utility library here on AVSIM or elsewhere (for FS9). You can list the navaids, open the properties for each of these shared frequency localizers, turn off the back-course, and save the airport afcad file.For FSX I have not used it but from Flight 1 there is a payware airport editor called Airport Enhancer that may be able to do this if it is a problem carried over to FSX.
