Approach practice for X-Plane 12

Set up at the selected approach start, ready to fly.

Set up a stabilized ILS or RNAV/RNP approach, or a full STAR arrival, ready to fly, in a single launch. Then do it again, without rebuilding the setup.

How it works

Three steps, one launch.

Searching KJFK and choosing from 18 ILS and RNP approaches, with runway lengths and current winds

1. Select

Choose an airport and approach, then set the final distance and aircraft configuration.

2. Launch

Once the approach is selected and configured, click Launch. Intercept programs the flight plan and sets up the aircraft.

3. Fly

Intercept hands off the fully configured aircraft on the approach. You fly it from there.

The problem

The same setup, every single run.

Getting a jet airborne, correctly configured, and stable on an approach isn't easy to do by hand. And even if you can, you're rebuilding the same fiddly setup every time, before you even get to the part you wanted to practice.

What Intercept does

You pick three things. It does the rest.

Choose an airport, filter by All, ILS, or RNAV, then select an approach. ILS uses the selected final distance. For RNAV, the selected Final segment or named Full procedure entry determines where the coded setup begins. On the ToLiss Airbus and the 737NG you can also pick a STAR and transition with the approach, and Intercept programs the arrival as filed and spawns you on it. Intercept programs the procedure, sets the aircraft up, and hands off a fully configured aircraft for you to fly.

Roadmap

Planned enhancements.

Intercept 1.1 delivers repeatable ILS and RNAV/RNP approach setup, STAR arrivals and handoff for the ToLiss Airbus family and the Zibo and LevelUp 737NG families, and ILS and RNAV setup for the built-in Citation X. Here is what we are planning next.
