The basic procedure:
- Ensure the ILS is properly tuned and receiving.
- Intercept the localizer at a 30° angle and below the
glideslope. 12nm out is a good point to aim for.
- Once established on the localizer, press APP to arm the
glideslope capture mode.
- At 1500 feet radio altitude, all three autopilot CMD lights
will illuminate and you'll see LAND 3 as well as FLARE and ROLLOUT modes
annunciated on the FMA. Remember to arm the spoilers and autobrakes.
- Retard your physical PC throttle to idle before the flare,
engage the thrust reversers after touchdown and allow the plane to
decelerate.
- Disconnect the autopilot and autothrottle and exit the runway
on the first availiable high-speed taxiway.
