Re: B767
I'm afraid I don't have any reference material to suggest. Maybe someone else does. But if Mr. Auto Pilot isn't following the ILS very well maybe going manual about 500 FT AGL or sooner is the answer.

Here's another question to the pilots:
Would you continue to fly for SunAir Express if you couldn't use accelerated time mode?

Re: Poll: What Is Your Primary Flight Sim for SAX Flights?
One question....what is the benefit of using FS9 over FSX? I have both and am not sure if I can get better graphics (higher level) if I go back to FS9. FSX has higher detailed graphics then FS9. The trade-off is lower frame rates unless you have a fast system with plenty of Ram and a good video boa...

The tool would automate having you to enter a flight plan waypoint by waypoint. Here is just one option. This option is FREE. For this example SAX flight #10 KTPA to EBBR is used...
