, you change the altitude to that number.Plane descends to that altitude.Once you have received which runway you will be landing on and assuming it has a ils, both loc and glide slope, go ahead and enter the number in both nav 1 and 2.The last transmission before they hand you over to tower,will give you a heading and altitude.Using the AP in heading mode,fly it until the loc, vertical needle starts to swing.Thats when you hit NAV.
You are in heading mode so when ATC says, turn to heading., you move the heading bug.Plane turn to that heading.When ATC says,descend to. Sounds like you are hitting the NAV button early.You have the autopilot on and following atc instructions.Example. As it begins to move, you should start turning towards your runway, with the intent that as soon as that needle is centered, your turn is complete and you should be directly in front of the runway, centered on the centerline.Cheers, So, as long as the radio is tuned properly, and you're not too high, that needle will always move once you get close enough to the airport. (You can get the correct frequency from the Map).Adding: FSX air traffic control will (almost) always bring you in at a 45-degree angle to your destination runway. You're either too far away from it, too high or too far left or right.Adding: That gauge doesn't work unless you've tuned it using the NAV radio to the proper radio frequency for that runway.
It looks like this: that needle is moving, then you're "established." If it's not moving, then you aren't established. In the Cessna 172, the gauge is the VOR1 or VOR2 gauge. the key question you have is: "How do I know when I'm close enough to pick up that radio signal."Answer: There is no gauge which says "You are established on a localizer."Instead, you have to infer it from the movement of a needle on a gauge. "Wait until you are close enough that your instrument is picking up the radio signal which will guide you left-right as you get closer to the airport."So. "Until established on the localizer" means. "You're close enough to the radio signal that you can pick it up and track it."So.
If your aircraft is still too far away from it (or too far left or right of it) your equipment won't be able to pick it up."Established" means. The localizer tells you if you're too far right, or too far left of the runway.(As opposed to the "glide slope indicator" which tells you if you are too high, or too low.)However, the radio transmitter that sends that signal out only sends that signal out for so many miles before the signal fades out. Tony,Goef is a great pilot, and I am not a pilot, so I might be able to answer your question a different way without using all a lot of pilot jargon.The "localizer" (what a weird name for that) is the radio signal set up at an airport that shows your airplane the centerline of your runway.
