+ | Once you have the information needed for your flight, start Aerofly FS 2. For this tutorial we are going to use the Baron 58 aircraft. **Note** - The instruments may be different in other aircraft, but the concept learned in this tutorial is basically the same. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * First select the **Baron 58** aircraft. | ||
+ | * Open **Location** and place your aircraft just above Buchanan Field (NE of SanFrancisco near position N 38.09 degrees W 122.08 degrees), turn your aircraft to face San Francisco (around 194 degrees), and set your altitude to **5,000** feet. **Note** - This will be your starting point for this tutorial. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Leave the Location menu and enter the navigation menu. | ||
+ | * Delete any previous route settings | ||
+ | * Click **San Francisco Airport** on the map and select **runway 19L**. Take note of the additional information like the ICAO code, the ILS frequency and the total distance of 31.2 nm. | ||

+ | |||
+ | * Leave the Navigation menu and **start the simulation**. | ||

+ | ==== Flying The Aircraft ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Adjust the average power, trim and level out the aircraft | ||
+ | * Activate the Autopilot by clicking on " | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Turn the frequency knob of NAV 1 to 108.90. (1) **Note** - point to outer ring for large change, inner knob for decimal changes | ||
+ | * Press the active/ | ||
+ | * Turn the heading knob of the HSI instrument to 194 degrees. (3) | ||
+ | * Turn the knob to the same direction. (4) | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The ILS is now active. Note the distance, the average speed and minutes to our destination just below the HSI. (1) | ||
+ | * Turn the Omni bearing selector (OBS) knob to 194. (2) | ||
+ | * Turn the course deviation indicator (CDI) knob to 194. //The knob is hidden behind the yoke in the below image// (3) | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fly with autopilot to your destination with course approximately 194 and flight level 4000-5000ft. **Note** - Autopilot is active. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next press the (APR) button on the autopilot. **Note** - The text APR may be displayed on the second line of the autopilot display. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The navigation system will perform a complete automatic approach at this point.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Watch your airspeed indicator and manage your speed during approach | ||
+ | * Set flaps during approach | ||
+ | * Deploy your landing gear as you approach final | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Once the aircraft touches down the runway the autopilot switches off. You will need to take control of the aircraft at this point.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | You have now completed your first ILS approach. A special thank you to “Karl-Heinz” for the writing of this tutorial. | ||
