Rudy_B Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 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. Link to the article.

Rudy_B Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 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. Link to the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy_B Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 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. Link to the blog article.

Rudy_B Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 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. Link to the blog article.

Rudy_B Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 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.
