cat Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I am flying PIC737 Evolution with new PC. Flying into Heathrow, my airliner intercepts the glideslope on final, but descent doesn’t begin. I press APP, but A & B autopilots will not engage together. So no descent. Here’s a couple of pictures showing the instrument settings. Can anyone help.

MBKHOU Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Have no real idea. Don't see any pictures. Also you wouldn't need both autopilots for a simple ILS approach. You would only need both for an autoland. I assume you are below the glideslope before interception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrhealth Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Usual, ensure you are below glideslope, and ensure bith NAV radios are tuned to the ILS. It needs both to work. Never tried an autoland, only ILS.

cat Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thx! I can't change my NAV Auto setting, by turning knob. It will only change the NAV manual to the correct setting. I'm definitely below the ILS after intercept! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexzar14 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Any ideas? It is a drekish product, why not go with PMFG or iFly 737 instead? Wilco's autopilot/avionics freezes for durations of 10-15 seconds and you can't do anything about it, if this happens on final - the flight is wasted. May be your problem is due to that. Normally the FMS inputs the right NAV frequencies except for the ILS (speaking od 737), the ils you enter to the pedestal radio. I had couple flights with Wilco and uninstalled it.

mjrhealth Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 As above post, if runway is slected in FMS it will automaitcally tune, but I usualy do it manually just to be sure.

cat Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Mjr, How do you select the destination runway in the FMC. What page? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alverthein Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 On the FMC in the PMDG NGX which is the best....it really is....there is a place on the FMC you can click which is DP/AR ....click on that and then whichever you want will show you the runways available at the airport you are either leaving from or going to....it is that simple....good luck....al v but as for your "PIC ".... I do not know as I only fly the PMDG aircraft but I think most FMCs are very similar.......LOL>..al v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thx Alv, I found the DP/AR on the FMC/ clicked LFPG runway & arrival clicked 27L & Entered. Tomorrow, I'll do a flight & see what happens. I'll let you know whether autoland intercepts the glideslope. I'll do the DP/AR thing when I'm planning the route on the FMC. Thx! For your kind help.
