ILS Approach and Autoland

[Martin5042]

I have noticed over several flights that when performing an ILS approach  the Autopilot does not maintain an accurate course and glideslope and i have to disconnect the ILS and then re-engage. Not sure if this is a known issue.

Also how do I correctly activate a CAT 3 Autoland ?

I have tuned both Autopilot 1 and 2 with the correct ILS frequency/Course and when the plane is in landing configuration and established  I have then activate autopilot 2.

I must be missing a step as i cant make the autoland work......

Any guidance would be appreciated...........

Are you using the Garmin GNS530 that comes with it?

There are known issues with A/P Flight Logic and ILS Guidance that are being tuned for future updates

Thank you for an amazing plane........looking forward to the next update..........

So am i correct to assume that for now the CAT 3 Autoland  feature is not yet implemented ?

Also having difficulty executing an ILS/Autoland.

Finding that the Autothrottle will wind down below 245 kts but the speed doesn't drop below 245 kts,  & if I start easing out the flaps, aircraft goes nose down rather than hold the glide slope. Using the Garmin GNS530.

Tuned?  They need to exist!  Tried an ILS last night and it plain refused to even recognise the LOC signal.  I've not yet managed a successful capture of either element regardless of how I approach from the STAR.

How could something as required as this pass testing?

Same for me!

have to hand fly her now.

LOC/ILS will not capture. Just flies by when it should have been captured.

 

Looking forward to the update!

First flight with v1.01. Approach CYVR 26L LOC button captures glideslope heading. So far so good but it already did that in v1.00. Then glideslope needle reaches center of horizon, I switch the buttons from LOC to ILS button to capture ILS. Aircraft does not descend to follow the ILS slope. So had to fly manually to land again. What should the fix for ILS in the v1.01 update do? Something is not right with the ILS.
