If the loc comes alive.

Well if the LOC is off the air you won't be doing any approach, it will
not intercept it, but this also applies if you are flying manually
doesn't it.



As you intercept the LOC you will not be using the FMS commands
anymore but the navaid signal.

IF you intercept it. That's the point and that's why we don't allow
it. We also consider it to be good practice pilot machine
interface. You're more in theh loop. Hdg sel only comes on when
you're within a few miles of interception if you're not already on
it.


Bertie
If the ILS is working you will definetely intercept it,

No I won't definitely intercept it.

Now be a good boi and **** off. I have trolling to do.


Bertie

Of course it will if you have the approach preselected, in exactly the
same way it will intercept it if you are on heading and being vectored.

No, it's not that. It's just that I know that lurkers will spend just
a few seconds to find what you're demanding from me, and they'll draw
their own conclusions about the topic, and about your position.

Ooow, the old "Sekrit looorker army" ploy.

Well I see, to bad you can't help being an ass.

Was an interesting discussion till it lasted.

You really a pilot with that attitude? If you are then good thing I'll
never fly with you, I would feel safer with Mxsmanic.

No it wasn't. You're as big a blockhead as MXSmanic.

Yes, I believe you would feel that.

Think your mommy's calling!

He can't Sammy, it was undoubtedly just a simulated report he was reading.

Well, the FMS on the Global Express, with the Batch 2 upgrade will do
that. For that to happen you must have NAV selected, the FMS must be
your source of navigation, you must have the ILS frequency tuned in
(either manually or autotuned) and you must have APCH preselected.
As the aircraft joins the LOC the FD will automatically switch from
FMS to ILS as source and intercept Localizer and flightpath.


Thanks. Didn't realize that honeywell unit could operate that way.
