I flew the other day with Brett ,I wasn't aware about the correct procedure by using the radio and the CRS BTW is CRS the same ADF? Now I understand why of the 2 radio Navs

Brett I hope you can see this post, I would like to make a review BUT in a JET screen ,This is an example ,a short flight ,I though the pilots needed by ahead the knowledge heading course,in orther to set it after every vor point this was my worth mistake ,that's why I saw it too dificult..

Both VOR signal will show in my radar screen as soon began to capture them ,all I have to do ,Its to track these line ..correct?

This is my small flight plan

The VOR or nav1 is set to NOL(vor 116.10)

I can set nav1 to set a new vor point ..right?

Am I closer to the right Procedure?? Undecided

Hi Alrot

You're making this more complicated than it needs to be. We need to get you back into a simple Cessna and learn VOR basics.

What you're showing me here is that you do understand how use a VOR, but you're missing a basic understanding of tracking radials inbound and outbound. Trying to use a complex jet's HSI before you fully understand a regular VOR gauge is like running before walking.

I see by your chart that you do know how to get from VOR to VOR, but don't really understand inbound vs outbound and you'd have a problem flying from VOR intersection, to VOR intersection (where two radials meet.. not VORs themselves).

Letting an autopilot track a VOR radial as your course will work, but it would be better if you understood how an HSI course setting is the same thing as an OBS setting and how a CDI is similar to an HSI, but different, too.

I know the language barrier is more difficult here in type. I've already flown with you online and am certain I can help you learn this stuff properly. But we have to stay in Cessnas with regular VORs, before navigating in jets by HSI.

PM or email me and we'll schedule another session...

you know how it is Brett...

most of us made it more difficult than it had to be Grin

once the student grasps the inbound outbound concept... VOR is a piece of cake.

You're in good hands Alrot... in the time i have spent on this forum i have come to respect Brett's instructional approach, technique and opinions.

just be patient... as an instructor, Brett is trying to find a light switch in the dark so to speak, but soon, when he finds the right words and demonstrations... a big light bulb is going to go on over your head and all will be clear Wink
