Radio Navigation Tutorial in the Microsoft Flight Simulator Cessna 152

- Flying from Manston to Biggin Hill in the south east of England, using VOR radio beacons both to navigate, and to plot our position on a chart along the way - using LittleNavMap purely as a chart - not as an automatic tracking tool.
11:09 Starting to chart position on the map.
12:20 Tuning NAV2 to get a bearing to the beacon, and drawing that on the chart
17:22 Measuring our position again with NAV2
22:10 Working out when we reach a particular place on the chart
31:13 Planning our approach into Biggin Hill
35:20 Making another reading from NAV2, after tuning to a another beacon
51:00 After lining up the ILS, first look out towards the destination
55:09 First site of the destination runway in the distance
59:07 Final approach

Awesome! Just one little note that might be useful to your viewers: you can also tune the CDI to show the from flag and then have your measure from the VOR. That way you don’t have to try and guess where along the line you are.
VOR nav is how i started out in flight sim. FS2000. Yup. It was so satisfying finishing that tutorial course and getting that virtual certificate.
I like flying by VOR purely because it gives me something to do :)
“Pilot sets new lap record whist taxiing” 😂😂 watched many radio nav videos…one of the simplest, well described I’ve seen 👍🏻
Yep - it was a bit fast, wasn't it :)
Years of sim flying and I did not know how to use radio beacons. Thanks very much.
Thank you for the FS2020 videos, your instruction is clear and to the point, and a pleasure to watch. I had not heard of Little NavMap, it is brilliant, thanks for introducing me to the software.

That was impressive!
Thank you so much. After a long journey through TH-cam to understand this VOR Navi thing, I ended up here and it was soooo helpful... Great learning Tutorial
You're welcome :) If you're flying MSFS and want to try out flying with a group, head over to virtualflight.online and take a look :)
@@jonbeckett thanks for the hint, will have a look when my flight skills have improved ;)
Thanks Jonathan this helped me alot with learning on MFS on my 152
I learned so much, thank you, I can't wait to apply this to the new caranedo Waco
Excellent! really useful even fun watching a "jumping bumping" taxi on departure! ;)
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video and very informative Jonathan. I really enjoyed it and it will help me to get more out of my flight sim flying 👍
A little heads up, you mentioned you were on the 270 radial, actually you were on the 90 degree radial. Radial radiate out from the VOR. You needed to tune in the 270 degree radial in order to have the CDI needle provide positive steering information. For example, if the CDI needle was to the right of center you would know the course you want to fly is to the right of your current position. It's one of those things beginning pilots find confusing when using the VOR. Other than that, you did a good job in showing how to use a VOR in plotting your position on a chart.
I'm famous for saying the opposite thing than I really mean :)
@@jonbeckett I've made that mistake myself, info more for those who are following you.
hi there love this video had a a flight sim some years ago but J stick went wrong never replaced until now, and I am 79 watched this video at least twice looking forward to getting back into it , I now have head phones and a mike so hopefully can go onto a flight sim and have lessons and talk to control tower.
so please advise thanks. regards GEORGE
Loved this tutorial.
Thank you!
Excellent!! Solved a lot of doubts I had for years! Thank you!
PS: If possible, do it again in 4k, and with other planes/airports/situations as well :)
In MSFS, to initialize your heading indicator, you can simply press the “D” key.
SHOW! Excelente sua instrução caríssimo instrutor! Obrigado!!!
excellent. this is great training. 3rd video I am watching tonight from Jonathan.
Very informative! Thanks a lot.
Have a great flight today!
Hi Jonathan, thanks for this informative video. However, I have Little Nav Maps recently installed but with no PDF containing instructions on its use. So can you tell me how I can carry out exactly what you have done here: drawing a yellow line between 2 VORs, drawing lines between marked positions (along yellow line) and the VOR, saving user points and removing the aircraft icon?
Right click on an airfield, and set it as your departure point. Right click another airfield, and set it as your destination. That will create a line on the map. Then right click on any waypoint, and add it to your flightplan - and the yellow line will go via it.
Manston isn't available as a departure airport in MSFS 2020. You can still see the airfield when you zoom in close enough, but just cannot select it. I presume this is due to it being decommissioned in the real world?
@@nathanarmstrong3209 It appears on my map in Flight Simulator - EGMH
I've taken a couple of photos of the world map in MSFS 2020, focusing on the area around Manston... but not sure that it's possible to upload them here? Perhaps I can email them to you if you provide me with your address??
That was fun, good job!
yea i dont understand, my VOR gauges are stuck on vloc, evry video iv been watching it is either saying green nav or its undefined. i cannot get it to get of of vloc
The Cessna 152 has no NAV mode - it doesn't have a GPS. If you're on about the add-on, then that's a bug in the add-on.
@@jonbeckett so then it’s completely normal for it to say vloc then.
The VOR stations show up as small points on my littlenavmap chart unless I zoom in enormously, to the point where I can’t see much of the chart. Same thing with the ILS feathers. Is there a fix for this?
Would be the kind of stuff you would have to demonstrate for an Instrument Rating?
I have no idea. I imagine these days everything is based around GPS.
Awesome wanna try this …..how did they do it during ww2 ? Anyone done a video Dya know ?
WW2 navigation was a combination of visual, dead reckoning, and astral.
@@jonbeckett ahh thanks man I’d love to try and do a fake bomber run or something one day see how I get on
Great tutorials tho mate 🙌🏻
You could have flown to the runway for takeoff lol
What is the map system
LittleNavMap
Your videos are awesome. I just got MSFS and its super hard for me. So thanks for this series
Maybe because your taxiing at stupid speeds!! 🤣
