Basic ILS demonstration in Flight Simulator 2020 - flying the Cessna 152

A very basic demonstration of ILS in the Flight Simulator 2020 Cessna 152 - flying the pattern at Southampton Airport on a cloudy, windy day. The same principles apply to any realistic simulator.

Thanks. It was very straightforward and clear.

[@williamchisholm3066]

Jonathan, thank you for this, really great intro to ILS, appreciated.👍

[@TaroIkai]

Thank you so much. This allowed me to practice my first ILS landing in C152. Nice, concrete example, that's easy to try.

[@kevinhendon]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@tsw11385]

I learned something new thanks man

Glad to help - don't forget to subscribe to see my new videos.

[@frundlemud]

interesting and enjoyable.

[@jonbeckett]

Glad you enjoyed it

On taxiing i thought u are playing Need For Speed :-)))))

[@xjay1234]

Is there an approach mode on this version of the Cessna 152?

[@jonbeckett]

I doubt it lol - it doesn't have an autopilot

[@TazmanKRS]

Please can you tell me. How do you get the red night lighting for this aircraft please?

[@jonbeckett]

It's a Cessna 152. I very much doubt it has red night lighting.

[@StevePrentice]

In the MSFS Cessna 152, on the lower control panel just to the right of the ignition key (Magneto L/R/Both/Start) there is a round button that says something like "glare shield lighting" (I don't have it in front of me right now). Anyway, you can use your mouse to turn the ring rather than click on the button and it brings on an adjustable red light that illuminates the console.

When you start your videos please make it clear exactly where you are flying from. Give the airport name and location FIRST. Otherwise by the time I locate your starting point, you're already in the air and I'm still trying to find the airport. I love your videos. I'm learning ILS but you move so fast. Thanks, Denver in Chicago

[@jonbeckett]

Hi Denver - I'll try to remember :)

[@tsw11385]

When is best to turn for final is there a science to it or an ideal ?

[@jonbeckett]

There is no hard and fast rule. If you're flying a civil aviation jet, you might be following a "Standard Approach Route" that starts 100 miles from the destination. If you're flying GA, ILS would be acquired 8 miles out at 2500ft above ground level - or anywhere below that much closer to the runway.

@@jonbeckett thanks Jonathan

[@asmundlunde7762]

Great intro:)

[@Jake-mn1qc]

Pretty limited on that 152, can't even "catch" the glide slope to allow an ILS approach.

[@darengardner6219]

x plane is not more realistic .

[@jonbeckett]

I beg to differ. X-Plane is massively more realistic in terms of the movement, and behaviour of the aircraft. It simulates the flow of air over the shape of the aircraft - FlightSim looks it up in a table. For the most part it's a good approximation, but when faced with cross-winds, yaw, and so on - FS falls down.
