737 PIC mini tutorial -- I can't get it working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm trying to follow the 737 PIC mini-tutorial found below:

http://updates.justflight.info/jf/737/737PIC_tutorial.pdf

It is a simple take off and landing at KVBG.  The tutorial is very detailed and gives step by step instructions.  The whole thing should take maybe 10 mins to execute for someone more seasoned than myself.

At steps 27-28 it says I should be intercepting the localizer, with the magenta indicator at the bottom of the PFD swining to the middle.  However this never happens and eventually I fly out of range and both indicators disappear.

If somone could run through this tutorial and verify that it works I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

-Mike

	Hi Mike, I knocked up this tutorial whilst carrying out the actions myself (KVBG is where I do most product testing!), so it should work. Do you have 110.10 tuned into the NAV1 radio and the course set to 303 degrees? Thanks

	Yes I do. BTW, at step 22 is says once the beginning of runway 30 is in your 8-oclcok to lower the speed, is that the end of the runway closer to the water? I did try this on both ends however. Is it possible to make a youtube video?
