HOW TO FLY an ILS? Explained by CAPTAIN JOE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends and followers, today´s video is the follow up to last weeks video about the Instrument Landing System. Last week we spoke about how the ILS works, and today I´ll show you how to fly an ILS and especially what easy rules of thumb are out there which will make your life on the ILS a lot easier. Definitely some great advice for flight students, and simulator pilots.

Key facts you need to know about the ILS:
-Localizer deviation by one dot is 0,8°
-Glideslope deviation by one dot is 0.4°
-Imagine flying into a funnel, more space to correct at the wider part
-Less space and higher sensitivity the closer you come to the runway
-Standard turning rate of planes 3°/ second
-Time for turn in seconds = How much heading to turn divide by 3
-Bank angle = airspeed divided by 10 plus 7
-Wind correction angle: Wind deviation x Windspeed / TAS (True airspeed)
-Vertical Speed on 3° Glideslope = Groundspeed times 5
Quote from video:

... These are the basics to capture and maintain the localizer and glideslope of the ILS, keep in mind, making corrections until you’re three to four nautical miles away from the threshold is relatively easy as you can do bigger corrections. But after passing the 1000 feet gate, you have to be fully established on the ILS, cause most airline standard operating procedure demand to perform a go-around if you are deviating one dot off the ILS to either direction. And the closer you get to the threshold the more sensitive the ILS becomes. Imagine flying through a funnel, you’ve got loads of space to correct where the funnel is wider, but the narrower it becomes, the less space you have.

Now you might think flying an ILS is fairly simple and easy. It sure is if you practice it on a daily basis, but your practice is only effective with the auto-thrust, autopilot and flight directors disengaged.

Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

"And another rule of thumb... and a next rule of thumb" I was just wondering how many thumbs pilots have.

[dragancrnogorac]

I was thinking about the job is like: put the fuel, take off, dial direction on GPS and after few hours of sleeping find a runway lights and get the plain down. But after few capitan joe videos I see to operate those gigantic birds.. it's a freaking rocket science

[MrDrGeneralChef]

Hey Captain, thanks for this video! I'm working on my instrument rating and these videos have seriously helped. You've made a difference!

Hold my beer.

"I haven't seen a C172 doing 180kt on an 8 mile final yet"

You just need to play more steam edition multiplayer.

Interestingly enough, back in 1989 when I was in flight training, I had actually learned how to shoot an ILS landing from Microshaft Flight Simulator. I ran through the whole procedure with my flight instructor, and he was very impressed with how well I learned it from that game. I ran it on my old Commodore Amiga just prior to the release of MSFS 4.0. I was in the military at the time, and so I had access to all the charts at no cost.

I really like your explanation here because you go into the math of it all (I love math). Those are the things NOT learned in a game. I just found your channel today, and I like the videos I've watched so far. Thanks so much! Fly safe, and keep the blue side up!

You have made the topic as simple as possible. Thanks a lot Captain Joe. At first I didn’t completely understand the concept but after you explained it, I now understand the basics of ILS.

[FPVJersey]

Thank you so much for your video's Joe. For those of us with an interest in aviation but not pilots, I'm sure we can all say we have utmost respect for what pilots do and the amount of information they are expected to know and deal with.

At first, after watching some videos about the landing gear, take-off speeds, reading a few emergency procedures, and learning about fuel dumping, I thought "hey that's not too difficult, I could do that!".
After watching two videos about ILS I'm not so sure anymore. Just looking at those charts makes me dizzy, let alone calculating all this stuff before the plane crashes.

I tip my hat to you Captain Joe. Not a pilot's hat of course, but it's a pretty nice one.

[NarenMariappan]

Thanks Joe for bringing back all the golden days of my FSX, I am not a real pilot ofcourse. But the crush for aviation for me is never ending. For many frequent flyers all they want is a good flight from A to B but for me whenever I am flying I notice what runway, which heading, ILS or not, airport traffic hold, vague altitude, turbulance and many other things as I look out of the window. Thanks for guiding us more on our passion.

[profyousmithe]

I held my VFR/IFR(IMC now), my Twin Engine and one or two other certifications. Even though my health is awful right now, (diabetes, cancer, heart issues), I still remember how to fly an IFR approach and did it many times.

I am saying all that to say this.

I miss flying! Enjoy your videos!

[mrcannotfindaname]

I figured out how to do ILS approach by trial and error with FSX, but this series of videos enhance my understanding of how they work and sharpen my skills with ILS. Jolly good lads!

[LucasSantana]

Hello Captain!! What do you think about flight simulators for Pc's? Do you use it? And you recommend?
If possible make us a video about it!!

Thanks for the channel, i'm learning a lot!!

[TheMojoPhoto]

Dang. I can't wait to watch a video unfortunately I saw a commercial right before for st. Jude's with a child with leukemia strikes a little too close to home and now I'm crying my eyes out God bless all the children on this Good Friday. I will definitely try to watch your video later today

[jackphibbs]

You are such a great teacher! Thank you captain joe!

[rishichoolun]

Captain Joe since watching all your videos you have inspired me to go to learn for a Private Pilot Licence... I have huge respect for what you and pilots do... Keep going and all the best!

[evandickson]

The only time you'll see a Cessna 172 going 180 knots is when you find a go pro in the wreckage.

[mrtylmz]

the most comprehensive explanation of ils so far . great job captain 👍🏼

[Avishek]

Captain Joe, can you do a video of you in an Airbus A320 simulator performing a full taxiing, take-off and then a landing. Would love to see you in real-time action...appreciate it!
