[APPR fail.] This was a bad one. Plane didn’t line up with the run way at all. Terrible fail.

One of the things that would help the autopilot out in capturing the approach is to fly a heading that will intercept the localizer. What does that mean? For runway 28 and in the position you were in, I would’ve flown a heading of 260 so that you would get the aircraft of a trajectory closer to th…

You should’ve have decreased the speed. 180 knots with full flaps is a bit much. Also don’t forget to arm the spoilers! Then normally it should work properly. It’s better to intercept the localizer signal before hitting the APPR button.

Why didn’t you do a flight plan and use the way points that are in the published approach charts your fight plan is way off for a good approach

i don’t think its fail. what i presume from video. i guess you have your nav mode on not appr. remeber to switch to appr from nav once localizer comes alive. your aircraft was descending as per your auto pilot vertical profile also lined as per your fpl. as seen on hud.

Your intercept with the localiser is the issue here.

Thanks for the learning moment, and I’m sorry, I should have looked more at the details…

I have an iPhone 8 and I was cruising at 3000 feet and I was about to make my turn into rn 28r at ksfo and I pressed the appr and it wouldn’t line me up with the runway properly. I’m on iOS 12.1.

No I don’t fly with nav mode. I was strictly on autopilot
