	An ILS approach is similar to a GPS approach (see [[#GPS_Approaches\|GPS Approaches]]), but uses radio navigation for both the horizontal and vertical guidance. The horizontal guidance part is referred to as the localizer, while the vertical guidance part is referred to as the glideslope. To configure for an ILS approach, the pilot should ensure the selector on the Navigation Control Panel is set to NAV1, and the appropriate frequency for the ILS is entered into the NAV1 radio. This frequency can be found in the upper left corner of the approach plate labeled LOC. For example, the localizer/ILS frequency for the White Star Runway 27 approach (shown in <xr id='fig:approach-plate'/>) is 113.825. When entering the frequency for an ILS, the OBS course on the CDI will be automatically set to the inbound course for the approach. This is also shown on the approach plate labeled APP CRS.

 ===== Approach Entry for Coupled Approaches =====
-When entering an approach using coupled navigation, some special rules apply to how the GPS will fly the approach. If the entry angle is less then 30 degrees, the GPS will simply fly directly through the IAF. For entry angles between 30 and 90 degrees, the GPS will lead a turn onto the approach path. For approach angles between 90 ad 150, the GPS will lead a turn onto the "back course" intially flying in the opposite direction to the course until it is far enough out (based on speed) to make a 180 degree reversal and rejoin the approach path. Finally for approach angles greater than 150 degrees, the GPS will fly the aircraft through the IAF, join the back course, then do a course reversal.
