Establish yourself on the reciprocal of the ILS localizer course, 351 degrees, and fly outbound on the localizer.

The system will automatically slew the localizer course pointer to the correct final approach course when an ILS, localizer, back course, LDA, or SDF approach is active in the external navigator.

Garmin G3X Touch: tops G1000 features: garmin makes an aggressive run at the LSA and experimental markets with the redesigned G3X Touch. we think it's more advanced than the aging G1000

The flight had been cleared for an approach at Ketchikan but flew past the inbound localizer course. After ATC requested the pilot climb and maintain 7000 feet, he reported being low on fuel, and descended through an opening in the clouds into visual conditions.

The plan view shows a 2.79-degree offset localizer course. So even though you're just about on the runway centerline, your CDI is pegged because you're not on the localizer.

Hey, y'all, watch this!

I was able to fly the GPS-derived localizer course with the step-downs all the way to the missed approach point with acceptable precision.

Anywhere map vs. GPSMAP 496: Garmin offers convenience while anywhere map wins on versatility. For most users, Garmin's solution makes more sense

The transition gets the aircraft from the en route phase to the localizer course by radar vector, DME arc, transition fix, ADF, procedure turn, holding pattern, vectors or other maneuvers.

Five ILS gotchas: flying the ILS isn't rocket science, but there are a few mistakes pilots regularly make. Knowing what they are and how to prevent them can keep you out of the weeds

During the second approach the pilot said he was having trouble staying on the localizer course; control tower personnel reported seeing the airplane overfly the runway.

On navigators with an ILS receiver, the navigator will automatically switch from GPS to VLOC mode when the aircraft gets close to the localizer course. Some navigators, such as the G1000 will automatically load the ILS frequency as the active frequency, whereas others, such as the GNS 430/530, will load it as standby, requiring the pilot to manually switch frequencies.

The GPS/ILS approach: approaches are usually either completely navaid-based or completely RNAV based. A new approach design combines RNAV routing with a conventional ILS final segment. Ready?

As it approached the Blue Ridge Airport, ATC cleared the King Air to hold "as published" on the localizer course at 4000 feet.

Top five approach traps: pilots are always finding new ways to screw up an instrument approach. Look out for these five mistakes

Recall that unlike a VOR, the localizer course you set is irrelevant to CDI behavior; the CDI merely indicates your relationship to the localizer regardless of the course setting.

HSI localizer magic: the HSI is a great instrument, but even seasoned pros can get confused about what to set for a course and which way to correct on a localizer

You're right of the localizer course, turning right and heading south, so that's a problem.

Attitude challenged: preoccupation with having fun has gotten you into an IFR emergency at the controls of a VFR aircraft. Can you avoid unintentional aerobatics in IMC?

Localizer course and runway centerline differ by more than three degrees.

Bank shot in Roanoke: when it all looks just about right, that's a clue to look for what's wrong. Nothing like an oddball approach to throw you off from the start
