APPROACH

Post by josecamoreira »

I can not make the landing on the Cherokee 180 using the ILS / Approach function. Can you explain it to me, please?
Thank you.

There is no approach function in the 180. You can follow a localizer on hi track and control the decent manually. That is the way the real life STEC 30 works. It's a great simple and fairly inexpensive autopilot.

Sim CFI shows a localizer approach in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqTHSRV ... 82BzdiVe4l.

He starts out in the A2A Cessna 182, but midway through switches to the Comanche. I redid the flight in my Comanche, with Active Sky set to duplicate the exact weather he had and it worked! Comanche has the same autopilot as the Cherokee.
