In anything but VOR mode the CDI needles are slaved to the gps so the RNAV code can drive them. The RNAV code doesn't drive the glideslope so it remains centered always... currently without a warning flag. > Im not sure but when tuned to a localizer freq should vor/rnav mode matter? I think the right thing to do is set the ILS flag and un-slave the CDI needles... Which brings me back to a question I've pondered before: how do we know we're tuned to an ILS freq?
