APPR using NAV1/NAV2 (ILS Approach – Glideslope and Localizer)
- Start the procedure, flying on AP (APLN mode) 
- HeadingHold On, and the Heading Selector at a heading that deviates 20 – 50 degrees from the ILS Localizer heading. 
- Check that this heading takes you to a point where it crosses the Localizer about 
- 10 – 15 nautical miles out. 
- AltHold On, flying at 2500 – 3000 ft above the ground, at an airspeed of 180 – 200 knots (APLN mode). 
- Set the CRS for the NAV radio (usually NAV1, but could be NAV2) with the ILS, equal to the Localizer heading of the ILS. 
- At DME 20, activate ApprHold. 
- When the Localizer becomes Active, HeadingHold is auto-switched off and the AP intercepts and tracks the Localizer. This is at DME 10 – 15. 
- When the Glideslope needle becomes Active (you are flying “into” the Glideslope), AltHold is auto-switched off, and the AP intercepts and tracks the Glideslope. 
- Reduce speed as required and gradually move nacelles to 60 deg (STOL Position) 
- Beware that the autopilot may behave oddly during Conversion. Use manual input as required 
- On final approach, take manual control. Nacelles at 60 deg and speed must be 50-80 Knots.
