How to use ILS as a beginner - Landing an A320

This entire time I didn't realize you could change from VFR (Direct - GPS) or even set the approaches and departures before starting the flight, so I was following other videos that didn't show that step wondering how they got approaches, etc... It's right there, I just glossed over it entirely. Thanks!

I do have question not sure if you'll see this but when I'm in A320 an I have AP on I adjust the altitude but plane never changes I have to manually make plane climb and descend using the v/s button. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

So at any point do I push the loc button when the pink diamond crosses into the little vertical yellow line or does it just line up? Also when i change altitude it never descends I have to manually make it descend

I flew from Sydney to Alice Springs last night in the A320. Being a newbie to FS2020 I wasn't sure how to use the ILS. I flew all that way and crashed at Alice Springs with a duff landing 🫤. Hopefully your tutorial will mean next time I land it will be a good one, and my passengers can go and enjoy their holiday 😁

So glad it's from someone who's an american rather than from the UK.

For that ATC commands to climb when you should actually be descending, I read it on the MSFS forum that you need to cancel IFR once and re-select for appropriate runway. The ATC should then guide you to descend altitude.

Hard landing, but good video. Thanks.

180 knots during the final, you can straight up apply for the Ryanair pilot :D, but hey, nice video.

thanks for the tips helped me a lot

Mine will follow the flight plan so far and then just either keep gaining height all the way so it's like 40000ft at the arrival airport or just won't follow it at the last few waypoints, its driving me crackers, i just want to land the thing

Can you turn autopilot off once you catch the localizer and glide slope to manually fly in?

Followed your video. Flew my first IFR Sydney to Melbourne for a perfect touchdown in 320neo.

The only video that has made me understand how to use ILS in msfs. Simple and straight to the point. Thanks, great work!

Why when I set mine it starts already flying with out taking off . What am I doing wrong

If I'm too high for an approach I come out of Lnav and fly using track heading circle too land till I get the correct altitude and then go back to Lnav!

Hello! First, thank you for your video. Very informative for me. But, I have a question for you. For example, if I set the altitude to 10,000 feet, the plane never maintains that altitude. It always goes over. How do I set it? I use autopilot. Thank you.

Great tutorial but a bit of advice disengage auto pilot at like 400 ft if the runway is visual

I turn off at 500 ft. So it gives me time to flare it nicely.

ILS isn’t available for me when selecting airports

Very good tutorial on how to use auto pilot to land a ILS . I tried lots of clips on here but they where all to complected. This clip has got me enjoying the A320neo now. Easy to follow and to the point. Don’t know if this would work in real world . But I’m not in the real world, its a sim, and this works for me so Thanks for great tutorial.

But shouldn't you follow whichever active runway at the destination airport. I know its a game, but unrealistic to just pick any runway you want lol.

блин пытаюсь на а320 в илс зайти никак не получается... что для этого нужно? может частоты какие то настроить, и обязателен ли автопилот для этого? ( обязательно ли создавать план полета)

Thank you very much for your help :)

Thanks, this was very helpful. I think Auto Throttle when activated will take care of your speed and speedbrakes which will take care of your landing for you.

when I’m approaching my autopilot just turns me to the left and stop even if I enable and disable it

ty so much :)

Thank you soo much!

This helped much thx

Butter landing

u want to be at 140 kts at touchdown not 180

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, even a virtual one...nice vid

Great video - very informative and well presented.
If I can just add one little point...
Once you're in the approach phase set the aircraft speed to about 150kts with full flaps deployed - it'll make things a lot less sketchy at touchdown. You were landing at north of 180kts which is rapid!!!

thank you this was so helpful I've subbed

Strait to the point

Would have been better with full flaps and on RWY34

lovely video, very wholesome :)

You forgot full flaps landing

This is a great video. THank you for this. just a couple of questions. When is a good time to turn on LS button? what altitude and how far out?

This was exactly what I was looking for to fly and land an airliner. thanks for this nice explanation.

Extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Very helpful video, thanks partner!

Good video cheers mate 👍

Cool vid, can add to aim for a speed of 160 before landing and flaps 4, 180 is too fast for landing. I think a simple math for the descent is to devide altitude by 3 and the result is how many miles from dest you should start descending.

Thank you so much. I finally flew from A to B and landed perfectly on the chosen runway. Ok a few rules may have been broken but hey it’s a sim. For me personally ATC keep you to high ate descent stage.

One the best video’s out there on how to use ILS. Thank you so much🛬✈️🛩🛫

Excellent tutorial.. Thanks!

Horrible landing bro. Thanks for the ils info tho

Not the 180knt landing speed 😭 great video !
