How to fly an ILS in a Fast Jet | Hawk T1 (MSFS)

*Real Fast Jet Pilot demonstrates proper ILS technique*
Expand the description for more ▼

An oldie but a goodie, this video provides instruction from a real Fast Jet instructor on how to fly an ILS. The simulator makes things a little tricker than they would actually be in real life, so proper technique is vital if you want to be precise!

How do you only have 8k subscribers? Insanely good video. You actually understand what you are doing which makes it very very good for people watching and trying to learn.

IFF stands for "Inerrogation Friend or Foe". It's not a squawk code as used in civil flight. It's also not meant to replace the transponder as used in civil flying. IFF codes are randomly generated and change frequently so that foes can't try to "hack in" and act as a friendly.

Thank you for the time to do these Chris. I am not a fast jet dude but love the professionalism of the presentation. ( you sound like my instructor son in your dialogue, similar backgrounds show 😁. ) Sound was good for me this time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm new to the Hawk and loving it and I can't get enough of your videos!

I've messed around with X Plane over the years but I've got no real flying experience and never knew what I was doing. There's plenty of videos online but this is on another level really. Amazing. I hope your channel booms because it's high quality stuff.

I could watch you fly all day/night long. I have just bought the Hawk and this has helped me out a ton. Thank you.

Just After the hawk came out, I figured out by myself how to have a good glideslope and airspeed, 3 attempt before it was good ! Thank you very much for your explanation, everything looks much clearer now.

Thank you. I'm OK with an ILS but, in my first hour with the Hawk, I have struggled with power settings/speed. Just watching your RPM inputs here has been very useful. I'm sure the manual would have been if I had opened it but obviously I was too excited to try that! I've done a lot of flight instruction in the past and I know how much concentration it takes to talk everything through whilst doing it. To do this with a feel-less PC joystick etc. with an audience of thousands must be quite a strain yet you keep it all perfectly calm - kudos to you!

Brilliant video! So pleased you got suggested to me the other day with the other Hawk Video. So cool to hear someone who actually knows their stuff about their planes rather than is just giving opinion like the rest of us!

Also really appreciate the documents. The manual is good but does leave a lot to be desired so these fill that perfectly!

This is now my favourite flight sim channel...and I've seen a few! Thank you sir. 👍

New to the simming world (but not flying!). surprised that the Hawk doesn't have a flight director. Perhaps the T2 does? First class patter btw, and incredibly useful informatiom on power settings.

Smooth and well flown. I like the references you’ve made to control instruments and the necessity for only small changes to pitch and throttle for adjustments. Good to see the basics described so well again. I look forward for more videos. I am a Hawk fan and teaching my daughter to fly with it as she want to follow dads foot steps. Two questions you may be able to answer in another video. 1. No clock … how come? What do you use for time keeping? How do you determine ‘on time’ for mission planning or missed approach points using timing? I assume a watch but think it would be difficult on a bumpy day low vis and both hands working while mentally keeping the flight together.

2. Fuel flow - interesting to see the lack of a Fuel Flow Gauge. Like the Mig-21 (DCS experience only, in just a biz jet guy that likes fighters and the training aspects) did you commit fuel profiles to memory, have a knee board with rates vs speed and altitude? Was there just a rough hack for gas? 15kg/min down low and 10kg up high (super random guess). What does a bingo profile look like? What’s the min fuel to recover with at base vs carrying an alternate? 200kg I’ve seen on line but that looks more like a ‘no alternate’ IFR plan. Do you plan a mission with padding on fuel? 650kg plus 10%?

Sorry (I’m CDN, we always apologize lol) for the depth of the questions. If you are able to answer any I’d love it.

Great video again and l look forward to more. :)

I just got a feel of what the word "Aviator" really means 👏

[Zeeflyboy]

This brings back bad memories of doing my IR without the luxuries of a wind vector and track indicator lol… these days when I’m feeling reeeally hardcore I turn off the flight director 🤣

[Topofdescent]

Awesome vid matey. Very good fundamentals and airmanship

[colourwheel]

Thanks for the clear and helpful tutorial! You make it look so easy :)

[belgeode]

Excellent work! I learned quite a bit with this.

ok to date, now May 2024. Excellent channel, just picked up on this with my interest now changing from the airliners ( yes the flying tubes ! ), GA aircraft etc, to some of the select military aircraft that MSFS 2020 now offers. Looking forward to the Just Flight Tornado, which may be quite some time before release. Going to purchase the Hawk from Just Flight as I like their addons. So I am watching your tutorials now. Reading and listening with a vengeance from a real flight jockey. Much appreciate the time and hard work you spend on your videos. Full of immersion, and quality. Keep up the good work. Just to note, your GPS routes, Memory maps etc and links do not work to your web site. No matter which browser I use I get an error. Would be nice if you could make them all available again. Thank you.

Many thanks for an excellent tutorial.

Great video, learning so much, thank you.
