APP mode engaged? right runway? not a back course? not hitting toga?

Nice video!Would you know why when ever i try landing using ILS i come near runway and ILS take me back up to 2000ft?

I think it is variable depending on wind and approach conditions between +5 and +10... Winds not gusting for a strzaight in approach would be +5... winds gusting between 5 and 20 knots with a non precicion approach as is here, I chose to add half the headwind component of Gust variability but limited to vref+10. Just a judgement call. If it was winds calm it'd deftinatley be +5

I think it is +5 VREF for landing and not +10

Gee, though the visuals are quite good I hardly could get what you're trying to say with that accent. Sorry Mike. Thanks for sharing anyway.
