Yes.

If you are flying the Cessna and you have your nav 2 frequency set to 113.60 (Heathrow Airport) there will be a mileage indicator to heathrow. Set your nav 1 to 110.30.

The flight path indicator will not work unless you have the correct frequency set for the airport you want to land at, Set it in your radio panel.

When you are around 20 miles from heathrow and in line with the runway the glide slope and heading indicator will start working, fly at 3000ft. This is the top right circular instrument on your main panel which has a cross in it and is like a compass.

The vertical line allows you to line up with the runway and the horizontal line is the glide slope.

If the vertical line swings to the left, turn left to keep it vertical and your Cessna in line with the runway.

The horizontal line must be kept level, that indicates your glide slope, if it drops increase altitude, if it goes up decrease altitude. You do not have to look at the runway all the time, if you keep the indicator as a perfect cross you will land perfectly.

Good luck with it.

Hi, its my husband wanting to ask more Q's I'm afraid! Why is there a morse code type beeping when you set your navs up? Also, does anyone know where the glide scope is in the 737, please?thanks
It beeps when you are in range of the navigation beacons
Hi, it's me again, I had to do a quick flight around Heathrow to familiarize myself on the 737.

Enter the frequencies in the radio to activate the ILS.

The two purple arrows in the attitude indicator give you the glide slope, One on the right is the glide slope, the one on the bottom is the runway. Top left corner..miles to runway. Keep them both centered.

2 red lights and two white lights on the left of the runway is another indicator that you are on the glide slope. 4 reds two low, 4 whites to high.

Are you the same as me, plenty of crashes when your learning?
