hendo97 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hi guys, I need help learning ILS landings. I have done the training mission many times and read the manual many times but I still don't understand a few things. 1. How do you know what the course needs to be set on the ADI? 2. How do TACAN and ILS work together, IE. 2. Batumi UGSB 41o36’58”N,41o35’31”E 131.0Mhz 38Y,110.15Mhz 16X, BTM. What does the red mean? Why 2 ILS frequencies? I have more questions but this would be a great start. Also just wondering if anyone has a good video or mission that explains all this in detail? thanks for any help.

effte Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 1) The course to set on the HSI is published in the approach plates (not included with the game, linked from the forum). 2) The TACAN and ILS are on separate frequencies. However, a frequency can be given in two different formats, either a xxX/Y channel or a plain MHz frequency. You're seeing the TACAN channel and the ILS given as both a frequency and a channel.

hendo97 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Great information! Thanks. This plate you talk about how do I find it?

effte Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 "Approach plates" is the search term to use. Here's one thread. Check the aviadocs site for starters. If you can't find the relevant plates, let us know. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=64700&highlight=approach+plates ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.

effte Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I think it will be released this weekend. I base this upon two things: 1) Sod's law. 2) I'll be on the road. Have fun! ;) ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
MotoX Racer Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 There is a training mission that runs through the procedure fairly well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hendo97 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 I agree the training mission is good but I have done it 100 times and still did not know why I am turning the course knob the that course But the information that has been given in this thread (thanks) is helping answer that question.

effte Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 The reason to set the approach course on the HSI is merely one of convenience. It tells you where to point the nose. The course deviation indicator deflection will be the same regardless of the course setting. The course setting doesn't affect the avionics. Set it 180 degrees wrong, and you'll have seemingly reversed indication though - makes things interesting. ;) I believe it does affect the command steering cross pointer bars in the HSI though. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
