Hi If there are any real world airline pilots reading this can you please tell me what landing techniques you use? Do you land using ILS landing systems or do you use RNAV or VOR or even manually? Answers would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention I was flying a Boeing 707.

ILS landing question: After tuning in the airport frequency into the nav1 radio based on the info from the ATIS report for an ILS approach into Gran Canaria, rather than line up with the runway the plane instead turned around and started flying out into the ocean. I left it to see what it did and it just kept flying out into nowhere. No matter what ILS frequency I tuned in it still did the same thing. Why is this? Also on approach to some airports the GPS wont pick up the airport code, even for large international airports, meaning I cant set the ILS frequency seemingly meaning I have no other choice but to manually land the plane. Surly this wouldn't be the case for real world pilots. Why can I get the ILS frequencies for some airports but not others? Any help would be appreciated.
