In this tutorial we will land a [[Boeing 737]] at London Heathrow (EGLL). The principe is everywhere the same, only the numbers are different.
==MP Map==
 
With a few modifications the MP Map is ver usefull for ILS landings. If we wanna land at an airport we go to the 'nav'-tab and tick on the 'apt' button below 'show'. Now you'll see blue lines on the runways, a box with the name of the airport in red and a box at ever end of a runway. To show the ILS info of a runway we press the square next to the runway name. Now a yellow triangle will appear. This is the area where our plane will pick up the ILS. So you need to get in this triangle to land.
==Preflight==
Use these settings in the [[FlightGear Wizard]] (Advanced.. > Initial Position):

===MP Map===
With a few modifications the MP Map is ver useful for ILS landings. If we wanna land at an airport we go to the 'nav'-tab and tick on the 'apt' button below 'show'. Now you'll see blue lines on the runways, a box with the name of the airport in red and a box at ever end of a runway. To show the ILS info of a runway we press the square next to the runway name. Now a yellow triangle will appear. This is the area where our plane will pick up the ILS. So you need to get in this triangle to land.
 
==Approach==
With this tutorial your flight will start 12 [[Nautical mile|nm]] out of EGLL. You're at 5000 ft and line up with 27R. That's the runway we'll land on.
 
===Long final===
First thing to do is setting up the radio settings. We go to Equipment > Radio settings and fill our frquency (110.30) in the first NAV1 box. That's all we have to do to be sure our plane will find the ILS or 27R.
 
Now we need to slow down a bit and slowly decend to 2000 ft, this is the maximum height where our plane could find the ILS.
