In the NAV 1 standby input the ILS freq to the box and press the switch in between the active and standby NAV 1 frequency to switch between those freq (ILS frequency could be found in the map > click airport runway > scroll to the bottom to see the runway heading ILS freq and type of runway. also insert the runway heading into the NAV OR CRS box in the autopilot panel).
4
Activate the NAV 1 by pressing the button below with the text NAV 1.
5
Close the radio stack.
6
Set the speed in the IAS box in the autopilot panel on about 147 for 737, 158 on 777 and 180 on 747.
7
Press the auto throttle to ON and auto pilot to CMD. Press the IAS hold button (better known as IAS button) and the APP or APR hold button when there already a sound of continuous beep.
8
The plane will follow the ILS path continue on autopilot while set the flaps to 30 or 40 degree, landing light on, gear down locked, spoiler armed (SHIFT + /), and auto brake at 1 if the runway is long and 2 or 3 if the runway is medium size and MAX if the runway is short.
9
When the plane is about 7 seconds to touch down, turn off the auto throttle and control the speed manually.
10
When about 5 seconds to touch down, the plane should already align enough to the runway. Turn off the auto pilot and control the plane manually into the runway. Also press F1 to idle the engine.
11
Be prepared. This is the challenging part. Now with no auto pilot or anything you have to control the last 10 second to touchdown manually. Make adjustment as necessary. Don't turn too hard, or the plane will go off course.
12
Touchdown! Press and hold the F2 button to activate the reverser. Reverser will help the plane to stop.
13
When you reach 60 knots press F1 to stop reverser, at 40 Knots turn off the auto brake.
14
Taxi to the gate, using rudder and slow engine power.

Warnings

Sometimes, auto approach (APP/APR) doesn't control the altitude only the heading. If this happens, restart the autopilot. If that doesn't work, simply activate the autopilot and control the altitude manually while still using the APP/APR button
