We’re showing what to do to make the plane land virtually on its own.
We show the necessary steps to prepare for this stage of the flight.
straight into the runway.
a kangaroo, which means bouncing off the runway.
So it’s worth doing it like real pilots and taking the controls before the touchdown phase.
Here are step-by-step steps to make landing as easy as two mouse clicks.
Theoretically, this can be done later in the cockpit, but the degree of complexity is incomparably bigger.
For small aircraft (e.g.
Cessna 172) reduce the target altitude to a maximum of a few thousand feet.
Zoom in on the airport if needed.
Arrival selection is optional - if you want to land as soon as possible leave it as Direct.
3 -Display the NAV LOG and remember the altitude for the last navigation points.
Arriving at them, you’re going to have to be more or less at that ceiling.
For different airports, it may have a slightly different value.
In the case of Warsaw and runway 11, we are interestedin point WA409 and the 3,000 ft ceiling.
The last very important thing is the radio frequency of the ILS system for the chosen lane.
This is important in case of bad visibility.
When searching for the airport codes on the internet, enter “charts” (e.g.
You have to do it by hand.
1 -Locate the frequency window for NAV navigation and the data input knob.
There are other values out there at the moment, not 109.90.
Very important!Highlighted numbers in the white rectangle is an editable value!
The active frequency is the one on the right side of the arrows:110.50 LOD.
2 -Turn the knob to change the frequency to 109.90.
Note the double action of the knob - a wider base and narrower end.
3 -Use the double arrow buttonto move the edited frequency to the “active” page.
It will work properly when the value is on the right.
Planned flight
Use the information found in Autopilot section and follow the designated route.
Check the navigation points on the flight plan to start lowering at the right time.
Pay attention to the frequency window.
Maintain speed appropriate for the aircraft (for the Cessna 172, the descent rate for landing is approx.
Turn on the landing lights.
Time for a terrifying landing in absolute darkness, which is… two mouse clicks!
There are two activities waiting for you above the last navigation point:
That’s it!
Note the changes on the display.
The plane will land without touching the steer.
2 -Get ready to take control of the airplane before the runway.
Different pilots have different rules.
Some take control as early as 1,000 feet, others at 300. hit the AP main autopilot button or press the Z key.
From this point on, you have full control of the aircraft.
Don’t make any sudden movements, just continue the descent by keeping an eye on the speed.
3 -while over the runway reduce power to zero and start gliding.
Control the rudder to keep the course straight, activate the wheel brakes if you better.
All that remains is taxiing to a parking spot.
2- Select NAV1 window.
3 - Enter a specific frequencyand IMPORTANT choose the button with the arrows to activate it immediately!
