Nealius Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 I've been trying to get the ILS working and I can't seem to get it. Trying at Larnaca with winds soutwest at 5kts for the RWY22 ILS to come online. 1. ILS tuned to 110.30 2. ILS knob set to Marche 3. TACAN/VOR/ILS knob set to ILS 4. Compass set to VT I get no needles on 22 approach. Testing the VOR (112.80) works and gives me a direction needle on the compass, but I can't get the ILS (110.30) to work. Am I missing a step? 1
Parameter Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) I tried to use ILS at Larrnaca, and could not get it to work either. For some reason the tower gives me runway 04 no matter where the wind blows. I had success with ILS of runway 05 at Incirlik, and I recommend you try landing there instead. To me this seems like a problem with the ATC system rather than a problem with your procedure. Edited September 11, 2022 by Parameter

It may well be that Larnaca only has antennas set up for the 04. Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth.

Larnaca ILS is set up for 22, not for 04. 2 hours ago, Parameter said: I tried to use ILS at Larrnaca, and could not get it to work either.

I'll try some different airfields then. Edited September 11, 2022 by Nealius
Breakaway Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 yes that ILS bug is super annoying, very frustrating when you have everything setup and are trying to capture the ILS in the middle of the night, and ATC won't let you take a 10kt tailwind
