When you're flying an IFR approach with a GPS navigator, you can use RNAV for the transitions, but need to switch to the ground ILS transmitter for the actual approach (they both use the same CDI on many planes, so it's easy to miss). The GTN 650 that I'm installing in my plane will switch CDI mode automatically under certain conditions, but it's not guaranteed. In the past, people could practice the hell out of these kinds of details in FlightGear (tuning, twisting, and identifying all the navaids, adding crosswind corrections, etc) so that they were habits when I flew them for real, but we can't practice RNAV procedures like this (or many others).<ref>{{cite web | When you're flying an IFR approach with a GPS navigator, you can use RNAV for the transitions, but need to switch to the ground ILS transmitter for the actual approach (they both use the same CDI on many planes, so it's easy to miss).
