I prefer landing using the GPS/Autopilot way Smiley. But I have a slight problem when I enter the NAV Heading and the ILS frequency into NAV1 ( I do this about 70 miles out) When ATC tell me ''maintain this altitude until established on localizer'' On the autopilot panel I switch from heading to NAV. When I get established onto the localizer the plane lines up perfectly but it does not decsend with the glideslope

             Can anyone help??? ???

          Thanks takecare, Ace Smiley

Do you have altitude hold on? As it should be, then it flicks itself off. I'm guessing your not forgetting the APR button?
