The STAR will provide altitude restrictions, speed restrictions, course, distances, etc and will identify the precise points where you should intercept the localizer and glideslope. That's why there are precise arrival routes (STARs) to channel the flow of traffic into a large airport. Rarely, if ever, would you be vectored "straight-in" on an ILS approach.especially at a large airport like DFW. You can always figure that the localizer signal will be active at least 10 miles out.Alex Edmonds It will usually show you a DME distance when it is being received. that having been said, if you ARE on approach straight in to a runway with a localizer, if the frequency and course are set up properly, you can select the "VOR/LOC" or "APP" button once the frequency shows as being active in the PFD. Because of different types of traffic and different speeds of the aircraft on arrival, ATC will usually vector you for spacing and guide you to intercept the localizer at a 30 degree angle.But. Is this correct? And if you were doing another CAT landing (the one where you must manually turn off AP and flare) would you only leave the A on?Now then, if you were landing on an exotic place such as Innsbruck, would you ONLY click the VOR/LOC button since it's a localizer approach and there is no ILS approach there? (or is there.? ) If you were doing such landing, would you manually have to descend the plane? Like using vertical speed and all?ThanksCATI and II: CMD A (or B I think you can choose, correct me please)CATIII (autoland) both CMDLOWI: indeed, follow the localiser and descent with V/S, then proceed visual (or go around) and land manually.Bert Van Bulckīut one more question, if I was landing at a regular airport (say DFW for example) how do I know when to press vor/loc button? What if youre flying straight in?Rarely, if ever, would you be vectored "straight-in" on an ILS approach.especially at a large airport like DFW. When you finally have both captured, THEN you click on CMD B button IF you're doing a CAT 3 landing. Then, as you capture it (pink diamond on bottom of the screen) you should press APP button in order to capture glide slope. it's awesome!Anyway, it states that when turning the final approach course you should turn on VOR/LOC in order to capture the localizer. One question:I always refer back to the manual when doing a flight in the NGX because.
