If I remember correctly the only thing that you might read in that case is some indication of the reflection of the GS. Since the beam is directed upwards (at 3 deg) in theory it should be readable 'behind' the emitter on the backcourse. So defaulting back to not reading a GS at all should be o.k. for the indicator ... my .02 > As soon as I've managed to accumulate the required 50 hours PIC > cross-country I'm going to start work on my instrument rating -- what > better use to make of a Canadian winter?

I've done some hood-time in Ottawa last year but I moved before finishing my IFR ticket :) Regards Nils __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
