Automatic Approach Front Course.
NOTE
The localizer and glideslope are captured
automatically on the ILS front course
approach. The localizer must be captured
before glideslope capture can occur. The
localizer is always captured from a selected
heading, but the glideslope may be captured
from any of the vertical modes and from
above (not recommended) or below the
glideslope.
1. VOR receiver Tune appropriate
frequency.
2. COURSE knob (pilot's HSI) Set
inbound
runway
heading
in
COURSE window.
3. HDG knob (pilot's HSI) Set heading
marker to desired intercept angle.
4. HDG selector switch (AP mode
select panel) Press. (Observe HDG
illuminates
on
AP/flight
director
annunciator panel).
5. Vertical mode (AP mode select
panel) Select IAS or ALT.
6. APPR switch (AP mode select
panel) Press. (Observe NAV ARM
illuminates
on
AP/flight
director
annunciator panel).
7. NAV
CAP
(AP/flight
director
annunciator
panel)
-Observe
illumination
(when
capture
of
localizer course is achieved).
8. GS
ARM
(AP/flight
director
annunciator
panel)
-Observe
illumination
(when
autopilot
is
armed for glideslope capture).
9. GS
CAP
(AP/flight
director
annunciator
panel)
-Observe
illumination (which confirms that all
vertical modes are cleared, and also
confirms that autopilot is tracking
glideslope).
i.
Go-Around. If visual runway contact is not
made at decision height, go-around may be activated by
pressing the GA button on the left power lever, and may
be initiated from any lateral mode (HDG, NAV, APPR,
B/C) with the following results:
1. Illuminates GA light on autopilot
annunciator panel.
2. Disengages autopilot.
3. Pilot's
HRI
shows
command
presentation for wings level and 7°
nose up climb attitude.
NOTE
The heading marker may be preset to go-
around
heading
after
the
localizer
is
captured. After go-around airspeed and
power settings are established, selection of
the HDG mode will clear the go-around
mode. Pitch attitude will remain at that used
for go-around until changed with the PITCH
SYNC & CWS button or by selection of a
vertical mode.
j.
Back Course Approach. As in front course
approach, the localizer is captured automatically. The
aircraft should be maneuvered into the approach area
by setting the heading marker and functioning in the
HDG mode.
1. VOR receiver (NAV panel) Tune
localizer frequency.
2. COURSE knob (pilot's HSI) Set
front
course
inbound
runway
heading in COURSE window.
3. HDG knob (pilot's HSI) Set heading
marker to desired intercept angle.
4. HDG switch (AP mode select panel)
Press.
(Observe
HDG
lamp
illuminates
on
AP/flight
director
annunciator panel).
5. B/C switch (AP mode select panel)
Press. (Observe BACK LOC and
NAV
ARM
lamps
illuminate
(AP/flight
director
annunciator
panel) indicating system is armed
for back localizer capture.
6. NAV CAP lamp will illuminate when
system has captured back localizer
course.
7. PITCH control (AP/pitch-turn panel)
Use
to
establish
and
maintain
desired rate of descent.
NOTE
The HDG mode should be used within one
mile of the runway due to the large radio
deviations encountered when flying over the
localizer transmitter.
