Edward Sterling Posted September 3, 2015 at 03:07 AM Posted September 3, 2015 at 03:07 AM Hi all, I am the FE for ZAB and new to ACtrainer. Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but is there a way to implement an ILS approach to an airport (in my case KPHX), so the instructor, after the student gives the command, can get the aircraft to lock on and fly the ils? Thanks for any info on this and if this is not a correct question, let me know that also, Ed Sterling ZAB_FE Ed Sterling ZAB C3/G-EDCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 3, 2015 at 03:50 AM Posted September 3, 2015 at 03:50 AM ACSim or TWRTrainer? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Sterling Posted September 3, 2015 at 05:01 PM Author Posted September 3, 2015 at 05:01 PM Hi Ross, I am going to say ACSim, as TwrTrainer has basic commands to go on final "ef" and to land full stop "fs". My instructors are not able to get the aircraft in ACSim to lock onto the ils and that is suppose to be a feature of the program. They asked me to look and see if something is missing from our sector file that will enable that feature. What should I be looking for, either in ACSim itself or in my sector file or does it live somewhere else? Thanks for any help or insights you can give me.

Ross Carlson Posted September 3, 2015 at 05:08 PM Posted September 3, 2015 at 05:08 PM I'm afraid I won't be much help ... I haven't used ACSim much at all, and the little I did use it was a decade ago. Hopefully someone who has setup and configured ACSim recently can help.

Once the target is on an intercept of +/- 30 degrees from the runway heading, if the Instructor enters the runway number into the heading field (instead of a heading), the airport ID (e.g. KXXX) should appear above the heading block to signify ILS intercept to that runway. (Psst! Tell your training staff to actually read the ACSim Docomeentation! ) Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris McGee Posted September 4, 2015 at 04:49 PM Posted September 4, 2015 at 04:49 PM I'm not a Euroscope guy at all, however the built in sweatbox tool is 1000% times more easy to use. ZERO dot commands, all slider bars and stuff like that. I don't use ES, but when I do, it's for approach sweatbox sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
