Pre-takeoff checklist
Question for all the guys with Aspen. Last week I went to practice ILS at harrisburg ( KMDT). I set up the ILS as usual approach loaded and avtivated from G530. As I intercept the final approach course the localiser on Aspen goes from one direction to other without a capture. I break off the approach ask for another try. This time controller presumably trying to help me gives me very nice vectors with just 30 d intercept and ample diatance away from FAF to comfortably establish. As I make turn to capture LOC the needle stated to do the same thing again. At the same time I looked at the course heading on the Aspen and realized that it is not matching the course for the approach. Made correction and finished the approach.
I have flown plenty of ILS in this plane , some actual and mostly practice and I set up the approach the same way. The auto course feature in the Aspen always set up the course by itself as soon as I tune in LOC fr. and I do not understand why it failed this time to set up the course heading. Is there any way to set up 530 or Aspen that will fix this problem
