CRJ_simpilot Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Actually never heard of an A220 before. Designed by Bombardier and is an Airbus. HAHA! Anyway, you need to look at this website: https://www.flightsimbooks.com/ I can't say exactly how the ILS works in that particular aircraft, what I can say is the basic gest of the whole thing and leave you to figure it out. It's really not hard. First, ILS stands for Instrument Landing System. There is an antenna array next to the runway that sends a radio signal up and outward from the runway. You program that frequency into your Nav radio/s (both for a backup. I do). This antenna on the side of the runway is for glideslope (GS). GS is what tells you to go up or down as you descend onto the runway. There is another antenna array (I think at the end of the runway) called the localizer or LOC. This signal tells you how to move left or right. So GS gives you vertical guidance and the LOC gives you lateral guidance. The goal is to keep both the GS and LOC needles centered. Easier said than done, trust me. Now the autopilot (AP) can do this automatically. I think it's cheating, but it is what it is. In addition to the the website I liked to, doesn't this aircraft come with a manual? You need to read it, ALL of it. See these Wikipedia articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marker_beacon It's all about learning.

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 And I'm surprised the YouTube algorithm didn't find my crapy video . I kept saying distinguished instead of "EXTINGUISHED" It was my first attempt. I may try creating a video that's a lot better. My video may give you a better idea on ILS and how I used the default GPS for situational awareness. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?
