Very nice. But you sort of forgot that when you had the azimuth line in the center, you should just follow 094 and keep the line centered - i.e. use both the ADF and the compass.

[mariushusejacobsen]

One way to figure out your distance is to navigate at an offset (e.g. 30 degrees from straight at it), and see how far the bearing drifts as you cover a given distance. Then do some trig (or look up in a table) to find your distance. Another method is if you can measure the direction to two beacons - where the bearing lines intersect is where you are. And finally there's the option of the GPS module ;)

FWIW, using the ADF switch in the F-18, the correct behavior would be that it would point at anyone transmitting on that channel in SRS. If not, that would be a limitation in SRS.

If anyone is curious (4 years after this video was posted), you don't have to turn the dial to 094, or any number at that, if it's a LOC. This is only if it is a VOR. 094 would be great to know once you center your LOC needle and you just start flying a heading of 094.

Well 3 seconds in and i'm interested even though i don't own the Huey

Thanks for an amazing video as usual. From my IFR training, once you center the needle - have a peek to DG to see the correct heading to follow, this will make it easier. It will be a bit more complicated with a wind factor, however chasing the needle is getting harder in fast moving aircraft.

Squish. Squish. Squish. Squish. LMAO I'm dying.

FM Homing.... There are two identical antennas, one on each side of the aircraft. The needle is not a course line, it merely tells you which side of the aircraft is getting a stronger signal strength. This points you in the right, or 180 degrees in the wrong direction. That is why it seems to be so jumpy as you attempt to fly it like a localizer.

Awesome show. I learned a bunch on navigation in the Huey very quickly thanks to this.

Missed a trick there Cap.... That Wav file could have been Fortunate Son!

[mintymoore]

You learn something new every day. Thank you

Excellent video, very interesting to learn navigation through radio. In some missions you have to go through waypoints, I suppose there is no way to identify them except with approximate heading, F10 and eyes to locate specific items like river, crossing roads.. Isn't it? Regards

[myztklkv]

very helpful, I had figured most of the radios and navigation out and gotten myself by through 1 and a half campaigns, but I didn't know how the ILS worked for the mission im doing now which has zero visibility. I'm trying really hard to play without unit markers on now.

Thank you, great tutorial! Watching and listening to you, I improve my understanding of English especially when you don't speak too fast like in this tutorial .... ^^

very well explained, step-by-step, easy to follow, perfect. It leaves only one quetion to me: Do I really have to switch off ADF (after it has been used initially) when going to use ILS as next guide? Both systems should function independently from each other as they have different display instrument, isn' it?

[essveedee]

I am a little late to the party, but I just got the HUEY and it is so challenging. Thank you for this video. It helps me so much! PS: The Huey is incredibly difficult to smoothly land haha. Cheers!

[paulrubens]

well done. systematic and accurate.
no meandering.

[Mich_Angel]

To the point tutorial, great work thank you for sharing :D

[Rozzco]

Thats was a great radar tutorial.. Very helpful.

[ZAR_Magadan]

Thanks for the lesson. (Russia. City of Magadan) :о)
