Auto Approach and Land

[captainspdhvy]

Hi there,

I am quite new to Infinite flight. I have watched other YouTubers play IF and I can see a button above the autopilot settings that says APPR. On my iPad, instead of saying this it says NAV. When I tried to press this button at the top it read “NAV mode disabled - no flight plan is set”. I have recently learned what this button does and how to file a flight plan and I am very happy with it, but for a little while now I have wanted to use auto approach/land and I can’t figure out how. If someone could please help me with this that would be great and very much apprecited.

Thanks,

Hi there,

You won’t find approach available on all aircraft. NAV will simply follow your flight plan (headings only and not altitudes).

There is a specific amount of planes with APPR mode.

Here is the list:

List of planes that have APPR

Commerical aircraft equipped with APPR are: A318 A319 A320 A321 B737-700BBJ B777-200ER B777-200F B777-200LR B777-300ER B787-8 B787-9 B787-10 CRJ-700 CRJ-900 DC-10 DC-10F MD-11 MD-11F Hope I got them all 😊

Some aircraft aren’t equipped with auto land. NAV is just helping with direction, you’re on your own when it comes to altitude.

Hi,

It depends on the plane you choose to fly. Some of them are equipped with APPR and some doesn’t.

What you’ve seen on YouTube was probably a flight with a plane capable of APPR.

What was it that you said?

He deleted the post, he probably didn’t think it was relevant, or necessary

When using APPR, you want to make sure that the ILS/ GPS is on the correct runway. The picture below shows where you click to select a runway for the ILS/ GPS

(P.S I used the a321 which has APPR, but the glitch on the IPod prevents us from seeing this.)

How to use the auto land function.

There are a few things to highlight when you want to use the autoland function in IF: A new option is that you can select the approach that you want to fly, and if you make a flightplan it will be on top of the list. To access this list with ILS or GPS approaches, hold your finger on it for a few seconds and you will get this: [PNG] The * behind the ILS means you locked it and it will remain locked until you select a different approach or Auto. [PNG] Max intercept angle should be 45 degre…

here’s a tutorial and guidelines on how and when you’re able to use it
