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. | First thing to do is setting up the radio settings.

Put your landing gear down at 7 miles out. Apply full flaps if you are withing 4-5 nm of the airport. Try to maintain your height or descend a bit more to 2500 ft. | |||
