Myself attempting to demonstrate the NDB approach in Kenora using the Cessna 172SP with NO WIND. I used no other nav aids other than the ADF which is a fixed card ADF. It doesn't get any more old fasion that this for me. Hope you enjoy the ride. Kenora Airport ICAO ID is CYQK.

  • Hi! I'm practicing some NDB approaches. I am trying to practice using the Beechcraft Baron 58, but I can't seem to locate a way to turn the RMI needle to the correct heading. Can you help? I have tried everything, but I just can't find the nob or something to turn it...

  • @AndracaAviation It turns on it's own... it's a heading indicator with an ADF needle on it.. it's automatic.

  • @AndracaAviation If I remember well, as soon as you take off it should detect the NDB. In real life it tunes while you;re on the ground but for some reason in FSX it tunes once you start climbing at about 300-400AGL.

  • @rimxxx In real life the ADF will point to a station if it is close enough to the airport... in flight sim, I don't think the simulate "line of sight" very well, but I haven't used it in a while so I don't remember.. but real life, the ADF will point on the ground as long as the signal is picked up... if it's more than I'd say 10 miles away it probably won't get picked up on the ground... just a guess.

  • @jmr604 - Exactly, well said. I am a pilot in real life and picking up the signal works at most airports with NDB approaches, even on the ground. However, in flight simulator x you have to be close to airborne until you can capture it. This sucks because before you can actually go fly IFR you have to complete your IFR checks and be sure that your ADFs are 100% operative ;)

  • I GOTTA LEARN THIS SHIT

  • sorry i want to say movable card..by the way do you know where i can find exercises for practice ifr flying in FSX

  • hello...just want to say that this video is onne of the best videos ever for ADB Fixed Card Lecture...I love old fashion navigation because it makes you brain active...your video will help me improving my technique with the fixed card as i always fly with RMI i find Fixed Card confusing...and this what i am trying to explain to other friends...flying the A320 setting the Fms and set the ils CAt 3 autoland is easy..but navigating a cessna this is what makes you better!! thanx again

  • thank you

  • oh my god you forgot to gear up !! XD

  • NICE SHIT BRO

  • @jmr604 So it is not movable like the ADF on the Cessna in this video? Thanks for your help! I'll start practicing some more :)
