barbuse Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Hi. My question might sound stupid but I don't understand how we know how to set the CDI for an approach to an airport ?! Thanks :)
EvilBivol-1 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) You can check the airport heading on the F10 map (which will give you the game's true heading for the airport) and then apply the local magnetic variation, which will usually be about -5 degrees. If you want to get the exact magnetic variation value of the region your are flying in, you can check it on the CDU-NAV-OPTIONS page.
