Flightsim Navigation with NDB, VOR, DME, GPS

The video shows how to intercept a specific bearing to an NDB. We’ll be flying the Cessna 172 with gauges from the MSFS Deluxe version, which has a Bendix King KR87 ADF in the cockpit. We’ll see how to operate this unit, which also features a flight timer and a stopwatch, which we’ll use to time the flightplan legs.

We're flying the Cessna 172 with the Garmin G1000 ‘glass cockpit’ and our challenge this time is to intercept the 98 bearing flying away from the Santander NDB to the Bilbao NDB. We’ll have a look at how to tune the ADF radio in the G1000 and how to show the ADF needles.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 13 VOR Navigation: fly to / from

Besides the NDB's (Non Directional Beacons) from video 12, there's another set of navigational aids scattered around the globe: VOR's, Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range (or Radio). In this video we'll see how we can tune into a VOR and how to fly to it, or away from it. We'll fly a Cessna 172.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 15 ILS Instrument Landing System

Many airports utilize an Instrument Landing System. The ILS is a special kind of VOR in the sense that it has just one radial, the one that lines us up with the runway. In addition there's a second radio beam that guides us vertically so we can fly the perfect glideslope to the runway.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 16 Intercept VOR and ILS

Let's plan and fly a short flight in the South of Corsica, during which we twice intercept a VOR radial and finally we intercept the ILS to line us up with the runway, after which we'll land using the ILS direction and glideslope needles.
