RE: [Flightgear-users] Radios and other stuff.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes 1) Do the radios actually do anything? What do they do? Yes the navigation radio's provide signals to the flight instruments to show the pilot were he is (NAV1 NAV2).The communication radio's provide a signal to the pilot to tell him were he is(COM1 COM2) 2) If so, where can I learn how to use them, (the ones in flightgear). I think there is a learn to fly somewere in the documentation. 3) How can I learn how to use the IFR, I think that's what it's called, The compasses with the adjustable pointers on them that are supposed to guide you into the runway? Probably takes about two years of flying to get a basic knowledge. But if you Google agound for things like ADF,VOR ILS you may be able to understand how the systems work. It took 3 months of solid 8 hours a day in aicraft radio school to learn how these systems work.And I am not sure 30 years later that I fully understand or believe what I was taught.

A couple of hours spent reading through http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ should make a good start. A pilot normally needs about 40 hours training to be able to fly holds and approaches within tolerance for the instrument rating, but most pilots have the basics of VOR/DME/ADF/ILS down after about 5 hours practice, even if they're pretty sloppy at that point. A lot of the 40 hours are spent learning to fly on the gyros when you cannot see out the windows, not learning how to use the nav instruments. Most of IFR ground school, in Canada at least, is spent on weather and regulations, not navigation radios. Before the original poster tries that, though, it would be a good idea to get the basic airmanship down -- learn to use the central six instruments, and learn to maintain heading, airspeed, and altitude. Once that's all down, it's good to practice again in IMC, where the instruments are your only reference.
