If you’re new to our autoland feature or are having a hard time getting it just right, this tutorial is for you! The APPR mode is found on many aircraft in the Infinite Flight fleet. Autoland will automatically fly an ILS, land the aircraft, and even apply brakes on the runway. While it does sound simple, there are a few key steps to ensure a smooth and successful approach!
Note: This APPR tutorial replaces the previous 2019 tutorial following improvements to the Autoland and User Interface.
Tips:
Autopilot, to include V/S, must be engaged prior to activating the APPR mode.
Airspeed must be at or below 200 KIAS.
Longer finals will result in a more stable approach (15-20 mile final).
Slow airspeed and rapid aircraft configuration (speed reduction, multiple flap inputs, quick trimming, etc) may result in upsetting the aircraft, bobbing of the nose, and an unstable approach.
Hello, Jake! You’ve come to the right place. A great way to learn is recreating the exact scenario from the video linked above. Let’s start there and comment back with any specific questions you may have about the process.
Approach mode is great and all but we also need in the sand and my personal opinion is I way to do back course approaches. Especially at airports like North Bay where there is only one active ILS in real world. Mind you this just my personal opinion and what I see what’s my biggest annoyance so far with if.
