Pags said:I'm guessing ALCS is the needles on the boat? If so, no, we don't have it in the sierra. Like Squorch said, we have VOR/TACAN/NDB/LOC/ILS capability. We can also do the auto approach...same AFCS as the older 60s.

I really don't know much about how helos shoot approaches, so if this seems like a stupid question, it isn't meant to be.
ours is GPS based. No doppler for us.MasterBates said:Is your hover coupler Doppler based like the Bravos, or is it GPS based like the Romeos?
like ghost said, we shoot approaches just like everyone else, just slower plus we get the special considerations already mentioned. we still need a way to avoid all the obstacles people insist on building around airfields.PropStop said:Why do helos need an ILS? couldn't you just fly to the center of the field, or a point (GPS or RNAV) and just lower yourself?
