kaoqumba Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I know that F/A18 has no ILS for land airports, and it is difficult to land safely in bad weather. In the future, can we consider adding ILS for F/A18, similar to aircraft carriers, to land airports? I understand this is not true, but some players, including me, would like to take off and land bumblebees in various weather conditions at the land airport？ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeroamer Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The F/A-18C (Block 20) Hornet in U.S. Navy service wasn't equipped with civilian ILS, only with ICLS for use in CASE II/III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Non-precision approaches are typically 500' (minimum 250') which is usually enough. The right way to do it would be to have a PAR approach or a field installation of an ICLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to make it very complex and realistic. Just copy the ILS on the carrier to the land airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When contacting the airport to return, it will call me. What do these calls mean? What shall I do? Do I need to contact them many times for navigation and orientation?

dlpayer Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 In the F4J we always did GCA approach to fields {ground controlled approach directed by a controller on the ground, this was a precision approach}. I wonder if something like this could be implemented in DCS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to contact them many times for navigation and orientation? I'm sorry, I've never paid attention to this call before. Do you have any tutorials on this subject? You do know that runway numbers always give the rough runway heading? Rwy 13 is roughly heading 130, rwy 03R is 030, 21L is heading 210..and so on. Dial in the tcn frequency, set course to runway heading, then you should be fine to land. Otherwise look at the approach chart, the one I linked for example. They tell you how you have to fly, which altitude at which point you should have. Give it a try, it's fun to fly them, and when you are familiar with them you don't even have to look outside the cockpit. Fly it heads down watching only your instruments, and at the last nav point look up, find the runway, make a small correction and land "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst.

MasterZelgadis Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 You have different charts for that. Check the KLSV charts. STRYK recovery is a visual approach for example. The instrument approaches are divided into precision approaches and non-precision approaches. Every approach flown without ILS is an NPA. HI TACAN Y is a non precision approach, you would choose this in an F-18, because you don't have ILS. If you have ILS you can fly a PA, HI-ILS OR LOC Z RWY 21L for example. It's different from the HI TACAN approaches "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler.

Rescue Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Haven't seen the video yet. Can't you just type the ILS frq on the radio and enable ADF on the Channel? You should hear if you're on the glideslope. Or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
