X-Plane 11 – Flight plans and ILS approaches

My beloved mother died a year ago today. So I need a distraction. I’ve been looking for short trips to practice flying a flight plan with ILS approach. Don’t want to fly 100 miles just to see if I’m successful or not. Googled and didn’t find much help. So I thought I’ll figure it out myself. Found a couple cool airports and used Nearest airport feature of the G1000. And I found 2 interesting. Nice flight over water from KDCA (only a 10.6NM flight) and some mountainous terrain out of KBUR (a 15.7NM flight).

Distance
10.6 NM – KDCA [Ronald Regan] > KDAA (RW32) Success!
15.7 NM – KBUR [Bob Hope Airport Burbank] (RW15) > KLAX (RW 24L) Failure!

So now to figure out the failure.
