    Tommy,

    Did you read the manuals on PM site? No use asking PM things that are explained there.
    You should have both your radio's tuned to the ILS frequency and engage the second A/P (usually CMD B) after glideslope capture.
    Maybe approach speed too high?

    Try again and let us know.

    Don't know what build you use. There have been problems with the route building for some time, but I thought the latest build took care of them (or at least most of them). This "deleting-a-leg" issue sounds new to me, but you better check again and contact PM support.

    Yes, both NAVs need to be tuned to the ILS and both autopilots engaged - just like in real life.

    You can change the autoland flare settings in the config settings if needed too.

    Tommy,

    Too high?? Hmmm..did you use real weather and if so, did you set your altimeter to the correct local QNH before approach & landing?
    Just a thought.

    Doesn't autoland use radio altitudes? Even though the wrong altimeter setting would screw things up.
