Fish Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Latest in the navigation series. A little longer than previous ones, and consolidates concepts introduced in previous navigation topics. All feedback welcome.

andyfoot Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks again, another superb tutorial. Trying to learn more about Navigation and CDU at the moment, this came just at the right time. I look forward to your next instalment.
chaos Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Fish, thanks for taking the time to making these videos. Just one remark... I believe you're getting courses and radials mixed up. A radial goes out (from the station) and corresponds to the degrees on a compass rose. You fly a radial outbound or inbound. A course is what you see/set on the HSI. So, flying along the 270 radial inbound means you're flying course 090. Flying radial 180 outbound you'd fly course 180. Like the groundschool bit... nicely done. regards. "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
mooshim Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Very helpful. Thanks Fish! As a newb... I suppose what the next step for me to explore is what distinct and particular situation would necessitate the pilot switching from TO-FROM to TO-TO (other than enabling the pilot to "create" a course to the NAV point.) I suppose I have to watch a bit and refer back to the manual in order to absorb it further. Really interesting video. Many thanks, Moosh [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win7 | Intel Core 2 Quad | Q8400 @ 2.66GHz | 2.67 GHz 3.37GB of RAM 60gig Samsung SSD| GTX 570 "Operation: Bull by the Horns" "Bull Run 2.0"

mia389 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I have made an MP mission which deals with tracking radials inbound and outbound. Can check it out here. Edited July 15, 2011 by mia389
mikey Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks mate, cleared up a lot for me (a navigating n00b :) ). I've got 99 problems but my Ekran ain't one
