ILS Question

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

Accelor wrote:Thank you for your reply Truckernick. I am doing every thing correct except, I have been turning on APP a little to soon or doing something else wrong, because at times when I engage the APP the ALT hold will disengage and I loose the opportunity to capture the glide slope even if I engage the ALT hold again. If I remember correctly, most approaches would be between 1800 to 3000 ft for glide slope capture.

So I will hold off engaging the app until aligned and see it that works better. It not always a problem, but frustrating when it does happen.

Hmmm
Well im willing to bet your probably just turning the APP on to early or even to late.
And it could also be an issue if something else isn't done or set right.

When fly VFR I am guessing at an altitued for flying the glide slope in auto pilot.

What?
You need to revise that sentence.
