ILS Approach – Prior To Course Capture
An ILS can be initiated from HDG mode (vectors). The pilot will need to have the
appropriate navigation source VLOC1 or VLOC2 using a localizer/ILS frequency
selected on the PFD so that the autopilot can capture that course from the
assigned heading/VOR radial. Once selected LOC APPR appears as the armed
lateral mode and GS appears as the armed vertical mode. When the localizer
and glideslope courses are captured they become the active modes for the
autopilot.

ILS Approach – After Course Capture
In order for the glideslope to be captured, the autopilot must first be able to
capture and track the localizer. When the localizer course has been captured the
autopilot will follow the flight director indications associated with the CDI
displacement on the PFD.
NOTE:
Approach mode must be selected for the autoflight system to utilize the
glideslope. Approach mode is also necessary to navigate with the precision
required for an instrument approach procedure.
