Green vs Magenta needle on VOR Approach

[Roger Roger]

Talking Raw data Green needles where you actually have to twist the CDI. They don’t just auto sequence for you with all the new waypoints. Instruments has gotten lazy.

Psh, new fangled kids and their CDIs. If you’re a real man you listen to the As and Ns.

Even better, just dead reckon through the Wx.

This is my point, avionics regression is not getting back to the basics. It’s regression. We don’t go back to black over black ADIs just to keep the skillz up.

We definitely should. Civilian GPS is rather spoofable and jammable. What does M-Code mean for GPS simulation? | CAST Navigation

Time, Turn, Twist, Throttle, Talk!

And I have a long rant I could go into about Twist becoming harder to do as avionics engineers at places like Garmin start designing HSIs without a course knob (ex: G5).

You better start petitioning congress for some money now then. You’re about to be out of time.

Different max, no radial line

I realize you have slept many times since this photo, but it appears you are outside the service volume of the tuned VOR. That could be a reason for not having a bearing pointer or DME.

There’s a bearing pointer in that picture. Just no green laser beam on the selected radial.
