Hello flight simmers, and welcome back to Alpha Hotel flight simulator training. This is flight lesson #6 in our IFR or instrument training series. This video will be part 1 of 3 videos taking an in-depth look at how to fly an ILS approach. In this video, we'll take a look at what an ILS is, what it's components are, how they work, and how to use them. In the follow-up videos, we'll do 2 demonstration flights - one in the G1000 equipped Cessna 172, and one in the classic or "steam gauge" Cessna 172, to demonstrate how to fly the approach in each of those aircraft.
