shoobee Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 My flight plan... KRDU SDZ ZOPOC KCTL is loaded into the Garmin 500 GPS in FSX. 30 miles from the airport KCLT I receive the ATIS stating that the ILS approach is on 23. How do I insert the ILS approach after ZOPOC and remove KCLT while flying? I have looked at so many utube videos trying to figure out this problem. Give me the solution and I'll be your friend for life. Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPSFA Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Press the PROC button and select the approach.... there is a tutorial in the Learning Center in FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoobee Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 When you do that, the approach is inserted after destination airport. So you fly to the airport and then out to the beginning of the approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 When you do that, the approach is inserted after destination airport. So you fly to the airport and then out to the beginning of the approach. If the initial approach fix is on the other side of the airport, then yes this is true. However it is not because the approach is added after the airport, the GPS is smarter than that. After you activate the approach it will be correctly inserted into the flight plan. You will see part of the approach listed after the runway, that is the missed approach procedure. It also depends on if you select vectors to the approach or select the full approach with a transition. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

When you activate the approach it will take you to the OM (outer marker) to start the approach, unless you select a transition in which case it will fly to the initial fix.

shoobee Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Still not having ant success. This is what my flight plan looks like befoer adding the approach. KRDU SDZ CLT KCLT This is what my flight plan looks like after adding an ILS approach to RWY 23 KRDU SDZ CLT KCLT Approach ILS23 ATELL hold LECAR The GPS continues to fly to the KCLT airport. It never turns to the ALTELL waypoint to start the approach. I'm missing something? When do I switch the auto pilot from NAV to APP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Did you "load' or "activate" the approach? If you do not "activate" the approach the GPS will not drive the autopilot to/through the approach. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.
