I had that problem once flying to Geneva. What airport are you flying to, I'd be prepared to give it a go. -----Original Message----- From: bvipilots-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bvipilots-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jordan Gallacher Sent: 22 November 2011 00:38 To: bvipilots@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bvipilots] Re: Landing Boing 747 No you should not have to turn it on manually. I have had this happen too with other aircraft, and if this happens more than twice, I forget it. I tell Michelle to do a visual approach. If everything is truely set correctly, an ILS approach should work just fine, but like I said above, I've had the same issues. Maybe your plane was still going to fast, but just throwing that idea out there.

I have in IYP checked autolanding as well as blind pilots mode. When I am getting closer to the airport and ATC gives me the frequency I say to Michelle for example load the ILS frequency for runway 26 Then, I follow all turns provided by ATC and the GPS is set to navigation. But the localizer is not detected and I keep circleing around the airport. I do the landing and approach checklist when I am about 22 miles from the airport. Do you turn the ILS mode on manually? One shouldn't have to do that from what I understand.
