Cas141 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hello. I am having problems getting the glideslope when using this plane. on the Mooney Bravo, or Cessna, or the airliners,there is a Nav/ GPS switch.During the flight I am in GPS mode. I have put in the runway frequency in the Nav1 radio and,shortly before I am approaching the ILS beam ,I change to Nav. I am still flying on the Heading button in autopilot, but when I see the “lines “begin to move, to indicate that I have hit the beam, I then click the Nav button in the autopilot stack and the plane begins to turn into the beam to line up with the runway. BUT, with the Beechcraft, I do not see a Nav/GPS switch in the cockpit for me to use. so, what happens? I approach the beam, but of course I don’t know when I’ve hit it. if, however, I managed to guess right then if I change from heading to nav in the autopilot, the plane will turn. but it will also turn ( when I change buttons) at any time before I hit the beam…..arrggh. But , why, just this plane, apparently? Or am I missing something? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On the Baron its between the Fuel Pump switches and the Landing gear position lights. On the King Air below the HSI. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On the King Air it's present. On the Baron they "left it out on purpose" (meaning they forgot it) in the VC, but there is one the 2D panel. Also, it's possible to assign a key combo for "NAV/GPS toggle" (I think it's blank by default). Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This may be from the 2D panel of the Baron. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
