ILS issue in Navigation Display

Postby KL-666 » Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:58 pm

This seems a general issue in all canvas ND's. When an ILS freq is selected in NAV1, a green arrow to the ILS is shown too. AFAIK this should not be the case. An ILS does not give you a green arrow, but only a localizer and a glide slope. If a pilot wants an arrow to the rw, then IRL the NDB before the rw is used. Of course, when a VOR freq is entered in NAV1, then a green arrow should appear towards that VOR. But again, this should not happen towards the ILS.

Kind regards, Vincent

Modern airliners generally separate ILS from VOR radios frequency wise, even though there are only 2 actual receives, the computer decides which to use (AFAIK). As far as I know, at this point in time, my A320 is the only aircraft with this implemented to both the radios, and the Nav Displays. When I eventually make an FMS for the Gabriel 738, it will be fitted with this same type of system.

Kind Regards,
Josh
