effte Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I'm on the road and on a dumbphone, so I can't find the thread now, but I believe I verified the runway alignment from threshold coords and it checked out OK. I'll make sure it is indeed verified later today when back home. Doing my job on my day off... :) Edit: But I'm not a tester, so I will let it rest... ;) (Nah, just kidding, but I am getting tired of the "nothing to see, move on and don't talk about it" replies us non-testers get when finding issues.

effte Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I did check runway (and localiser) alignment back in B4 and they checked out OK, so it shouldn't be the true alignment at fault here. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
Nu-NRG Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 With respect, it appears as if the jabog charts are incorrect insofar as it pertains to this specific example, ie Batumi. Batumi is, as said, on a Mag Heading of 126 and 306 as opposed to the 119 and 299 in the jabog charts: Batumi chart - [ATTACH]52692[/ATTACH] Was landing one time on airfield (can't recall which) and in both cases - EGI or HARS - I had to account for mag var on HSI. Does that mean both of em are bugged? Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
effte Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Normally, all headings (in charts and on your instruments) are in magnetic, meaning you don't have to worry about variation while flying, except for when getting headings from your map. (The exception would be wind reports, which are normally in degrees true, again with the exception for the winds given by tower prior to landing which are kindly given in degrees magnetic.) ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
