How do I activate an ILS approach procedure?

To activate an ILS approach, follow this procedure:

You will need to be lined up for approach on the localizer, configured for entry into the glide slope. In order for the autopilot to capture a glide slope, you must intercept it from below. The NAV button is engaged for the aircraft to capture the localizer.

With the Boeing 738, you should be at approximately 3500 to 2000 feet AGL, 15 degrees of flaps, 185 KIAS, and ready to intercept the glide slope. Set landing gear “down” when the glide slope indicator reaches its first tick mark above centerline. Capture the glide slope by pushing the APP button while the glide slope indicator is still above the centerline. As the glide slope indicator approaches its centerline, decrease your airspeed to 170 KIAS.

When the glide slope needle hits centerline, the plane will start to pitch downward to intercept the glide slope. Shortly after the aircraft begins it’s decent, decrease airspeed again to 160 KIAS and set flaps to 25. Slowly decrease your airspeed to 140 KIAS and gradually set flaps for landing. The plane should be stabilized on the glide slope and configured for landing at approximately 1,000 AGL. Have a safe landing!!
