Okay I think I've got this sorted now -
 
I will fly past my final waypoint at a low altitude, then use FLCHNG and heading SEL to find localizer and G/S for APP autoland.
 
Also, I will try and use airways to fly to the airways.

Tom - do you think you could answer my hardware question (on the hardware forum) about the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System?

Cross the last waypoint at the height/speed restriction.  Most pilots use FLCH below FL100, but you can you VNAV all the way.  You could use HDG SEL, but I would use LNAV, unless any conflictiong traffic is shown on TCAS.
 
Also, I will try and use airways to fly to the airways
 
That dosen't quite make sense, what do you mean?
