claw106 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi, it might be a big ask. But I got my self the pilot edition of the Q400, and i'm pumped to try it out. I tried following ehaviator's tutorial, and although that helped me a lot, i'm still dumbfounded as to landings, etc. If someone could give me a step by step tutorial (doesn't have to include cold and dark, etc.) then please do so. This is the flightplan: Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 What aspect of 'Landings' are you 'dumbfounded' about? It looks as if your Flight Plan is pretty straightforward...

theyorks Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm unsure as to what you are wanting as well. If you use the default ATC, after loading your flight plan, you will be told when to descend and to what height, what courses to steer etc. right down to the runway. Speed is the only function you need to calculate yourself. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claw106 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's revolving around the FMS really, ILS landings in this specific aircraft, ect are my issues. I plot the flightplan into FMS, and then before I put in my destination ICAO I go to the arrival section of the FPL, and plot in the runways I want, etc. Then I put in the Destination ICAO and delete all No-Links, then take-off and put on the NAV on AP. It'll fly to my destination no problem, and I usually will do VFR so that ATC doesn't bother me with headings, etc. It's just landing on ILS that I'm having troubles with. Should I be doing IFR?

Jim Robinson Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 My guess is you need to figure out how to switch between LNAV and VLOC. Your main flightplan under FMS control will be LNAV (GPS) but when you want to utilize the ILS you need VLOC (NAV radio) to be driving the autopilot, is there a button above the PFD where you can switch between FMS and VLOC or NAV or something like that?
