F-15C, HSI navigation made easy

[fitness88]

With thanks to Robin_Hood who originally created this list, I have found it much easier navigating the F-15C using the HSI.

I re-organized the F-15C HSI course list below to be in sequential order for use in ILS/NAV. As you cycle through the HSI courses one by one you will find they stay to this constant order allowing you quick access to any of the 21 ILS.

Occasionally after landing you may need to cycle to NAV and then back to ILS/NAV to get the course order set.

I thought some of you would like to have this list.

Some notes by Robin_ Hood:

Sometimes, the HSI is in-between courses. In those cases, I have noted it as for example, 236-235 (course between 235 and 236). Also, I added, between parenthesis, the heading given by the F10 map for each airport. It is usually slightly less than that from the HSI, and sometimes the reverse, as it seems to indicate take-off heading instead of landing heading (some airports have landings and take-offs done in opposite direction (eg. Sochi, the airplanes always fly over the sea, taking-off or landing).

• Sochi: 062 (242)
  
• Krasnodar Pachkovsky: 047 (47)
  
• Sukhumi: 296-297 (296)

How do you cycle through the HSI courses?

Thanks for that answer. When you're in Nav mode you see the waypoint number. When in ILS mode, how do you know which airfield the time and distance are pointing toward?

 

Thanks, John

When in ILS mode, look at the top right corner of the HSI, that will give you the course you need to be on for final approach to land at that specific airfield, [it's not the course you need to take to get there]. At the top left corner of the HSI you will see the distance you are from that ILS intercept point. Use the HSI bearing pointer to show you the heading you need to be on to get to the intercept point.

You can also use calling 'inbound' or 'Vector' to tower.

Robin_Hood did a great job matching the course to the different corresponding airfield names. The list you have is the rotation order when changing course.

Distance and time is on the lower right HUD.
