AngryViper.101 Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Hi When making an ILS landing i manage to lookup the ILS frequency, but what course should I use? when i come in to land like this i input course 35 degrees, but the ILS horizontal and vertical bars were way off and did not help much? i7-11800H @ 2.30GH | 16Gb 3200MHz | GeForce RTX 3060 | Samsung 1TB SSD | KINGSTON 520GB SSD
Tholozor Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 The F10 map uses True headings instead of Magnetic. Subtract the magnetic variation from True to obtain the Magnetic heading. 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
AngryViper.101 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 OK so must I add 6 to my 35 degrees and so use 41 for my course? i7-11800H @ 2.30GH | 16Gb 3200MHz | GeForce RTX 3060 | Samsung 1TB SSD | KINGSTON 520GB SSD

Other way around; subtract the magvar from True to get Magnetic. 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
TEOMOOSE Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Posting charts here allowed ? In short for the ILS approach to ruway 03, set course 030 heading, and for the VOR DME approach to runway 03, set course 029 heading.
TEOMOOSE Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) The challenge is that you want to fly the blue line but you see the red line because the placement of the vor station Edited December 23, 2021 by TEOMOOSE 1
Frederf Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 When in PLS/TCN the CDI/ADI vertical bar/HUD vertical bar show the localizer position and not TACAN course. Naturally in TCN HSI mode then the CDI will be by the TACAN course which has that small offset. Only the bearing needle and range are to the TACAN in PLS/TCN (or INS in PLS/NAV). By the time the difference between TCN course and ILS loc (in terms of CDI) matters, you should already be referencing ILS. When you're flying a documented ILS procedure (and not just making it up) it's clear what is supposed to happen when, what's the reference, and what values to use. The declination in Syria in about 6° east (+6°). You can think of it as the true heading of 360° magnetic. So when you're X magnetic you're X+6 true. That's why you subtract 6 from true to get magnetic with variation is east. 1
