[Falcon 4 BMS] Mirage 2000-5 : Akrotiri airfield familiarization 2

This is my second familiarization flight on Akrotiri airfield. This one is dedicated to SID and ILS landing.

For this training, I will take off and leave the airfield via EAST SID 3 until EAST POINT which is 30 miles away on the 106° course.
Then I will return to the airfield and land on runway 28 to use the ILS.
Akrotiri's runway 28 is equipped with an ILS which frequency is 109.7. The TACAN channel is 107X.
So did I enter these values in my DED so that I will only have to turn ILS on when approaching the runway.
Setting up ILS
 Then I took off from runway 11 which is in use due to the wind. I followed the 106° bearing until EAST POINT and then came back to the airfield.

Entering the downwind I turned on the ILS and started to align with the glide slope.

Finally I could easily get exactly on the slope

Landing was then just a piece of cake.
