ILS Failure! Not Happy

[callum]

As a Flight Simulator Enthusiast i regulary fly in Sim,

Flying a Boeing 737-800 with 118 Passengers departing from Spain (Madrid Barajas International Airport ICAO: LEMD) Landing in London (Luton Airport ICAO: EGGW)

Cut to the Chase,

around 500/600ft the heading of the aircraft changes and the nose banks steeply, i had around 10 seconds to raise the flaps, Disengage Auto Pilot, Flip TO/GA Switch and then increase thrust and raise the nose,

Unfortuantly... i crashed killed 88 Passengers including myself and the cabin crew (FS Addon)

Wouldent of posted, but i have over 500+ Hours and not a single crash on record. So im a bit annoyed lol,

ILS Events:

Altimeter Set and Checked
NAV 1 Set to 109.150 for ILS LOC
Autopilot Speed set to 200knots and Altidude 2,000ft
NAV 1 Switched On
NAV 1 Morse Code Recived
Autopilot Engaged to VOR LOC (Navigates to the LOC)
LOC Captured, LOC Alive
Aircaft Heading Changes
G/S Intercepted (Glide Scope)
Autopilot APP Engaged

ILS Approach Commences.

Flaps 30, Speed 130knots when the aircraft decided to ditch itself.


Rant Over

HDG bug should of been set to Runway QDM
MSA? what was it?
Altimeter set to what? QFE or QNH? makes a big difference.
MA procedure brief? what to do after a missed approach?
200 knots? you mean V2 +20 ?
DH? what was your decision height?

lol :)

let me guess,

you were using FS pax and PMDG 737 NG?

used both when doing my RT exams along with VatSIM

my only saving grace is that some of it is real world experience, not just sim:cheers2:

I think it means he is single !!!!! LOL:):):)

[callum]

Bugger :(

Had the wrong QDM inputted into the Course Selector

Altimeter: QNH
MSA: 2,000ft
MA Precedure: Climb 4,500ft, Await ATC Instructions
DH: 500ft


and indeed i was using fspax (FS Passengers for those wondering) Although, I was using the stock 737, Sould have really been using the PMDG

[gazza]

Which is more than me Tom :cheers2:

Having spent 15 years in the Aviation industry I was quite a Sim fan myself actually:) From a glass cockpit point of view I found for eg the Embraer RJ145 really good having played around with the real thing.

Got both the 737 and the 747 from PMDG (and the twin tubo prop they do). Captain Sim's 757 is pretty decent as well. Bummer about PSS going out of business as well. Along with just about every other decent FS2004 addon available. Stopped flying around the time FSX was released, not enough time to do the VA and learn heli's :D

Im finding this fun tonight...

Crikey!

I expect to be reading all about this in the coming days, and have to sit thru rounds of meetings discussing way in which we can prevent this from recurring!

Oh, BTW, I assume you're dead too, Callum?

:D

All I can say is - I am glad your not a pilot for real! :D Lol!!Butuz
