This is what happens when you tune an ILS beacon and select the runway heading in the CRS window and select LOC on the autopilot. You can adjust the heading setting on your main gauge and then put the autopilot in heading mode, and the aeroplane will turn to that compass heading and fly that way, but if you put the autopilot in a mode where it is to follow a specific course to a navaid (such as engaing NAV or LOC mode and entering a specific compass heading in the CRS window on your autopilot control panel), then your aeroplane will fly along on its present heading until it gets to a point where your selected compass course setting is the same as the bearing to the navaid, and then it will turn to onto that course. To clarify your understanding of things, here we go with the second thing to know about courses. This subject also brings up the concept of bearing, which is the direction straight to an object from your aircraft's current position. You might also want to note here that winds are reported by saying which direction they are coming from, not which direction they are going to, thus an easterly wind actually blows in a westerly direction, since it comes from 090 degrees in the east, but blows toward 270 degrees in the west. You may have seen this phenomenon occuring on the GPS, where the aircraft tracks along the pink line, but manages to do that by pointing slightly to one side of it instead of straight forward along the line, in order to compensate for a wind blowing from one side. This means that sometimes you have to fly an offset heading to maintain a particular course over the ground. Your heading is the way you are pointing, your course is the actual track you are travelling along as you pass over the ground, so if there is a slight crosswind, your heading and your course may differ, because the aircraft will be blown to the side somewhat. There are two concepts to understand when talking about courses with aeroplanes, and it is important to know the difference between them. Regards and I hope you'll have understand my flimsy English and will not be angry at my this post too. Heathrow captures glide Scope at 2500ft AGL. ![]() I don't want to make a straight line but instead I want that a Heading or course should align me towards runway.Īnother thing is that can anyone provide me Real World G/S Incept Altitude Chart or in other words real words ILS approaches like Heathrow has 2500ft AGL. I first captured a straight GPS line (just 15nm away) towards landing runway and plane went straight and captured the Glide Scope and Localizer and landed safely but I want to finish this method now. I now wanna go advance and drive the plane at Heading and Courses. Now actual thing is that when is to give these headings or courses? From start during take off? Near Departure Runway? In the mid of both? or at specific nm away from departure runway? or where ever? Because I don't want to use more GPS. Some air planes, probably like Boeing 737 has given only Heading in cockpit. ![]() I don't know whether it's heading or course. what we should give to CRJ? Course or Heading? Suppose Heathrow has 237. In FSX CRJ 700 cockpit, both have been given. I've learnt a lot of topics but unable to make a difference between Heading and Course. I've learnt many basic things except Heading and Course. Some people said to me to work from start in this forum, so I was so sad at that time but now I'm confident. I've done a lot of work so far on FSX ILS Landing and I'm so so successful ILS landing through GPS.
