the algebra math behind it is an Orthogonal Projection, that's were math has real life applications people and its lots of fun when you understand transformations and matrices ... stay in school learn to read and study. cheers and awesome video JB...thank you.
I forgot how much fun this actually is! Remembered i downloaded the free USA VOR maps just for that purpose. THanks for the reminder! Steiny here! Nice (tailwind) landing btw. Very nice explanation with lnm as well!
Nice demo. One small point, a heading of '000' is normally expressed as 'three six zero' in aviation. Similarly '090' is expressed as 'zero nine zero' and so on.
Yep - I often find myself walking a line between using language that non-pilots will understand, and radio-telephont language. Of course then you have the whole subject of "fife", "niner" and so on - probably a good subject for a video at some point.
Thanks for that brilliant video. It’s in the manual somewhere that they would have needed to build a whole new autopilot model as they are overlaying on the msfs model. So they say to fly using heading bug and using HSI for guidance
Hmm, none of my airplanes have the Bendix/King KNS81 that I have found so far. Is that unique to the Black Square Bonanza or do you know of any other planes with it? Also been through many planes on the marketplace looking at the panels and didn't notice any with that.
I think I figured it out, seems to be part of the Black Square steam gauge overhaul kit so only available to planes with that kit as an option? Caravan, King Air, Bonanza, Baron, TBM850... Is this correct?
@@shanesdiythe only ones I've found it available in have been the Black Square birds. Just picked up the Dukes as a bundle and they're a blast for IFR. Actually just shot the PASV ADF approach with the turbine duke a few hours ago.
Excellent video, learned a lot from it. One question, could you use the ILS frequency to set up another position/waypoint to intercept the ILS rather than just use a vector?
Great explanation on how to use the KNS81. One question regarding LNM. How did you draw the straight line route from departure to destination with the radials off the various VOR's? Cheers, Steve
A little off topic. A while ago I came across a PMDG DC6 startup procedure that included the camera view bindings. I think it was from you. If so can you send me the link. Much appreciated, Steve
Interesting presentation, somewhat outdated by GPS I guess. In fact most people nowdays seem to assume that RNAV is associated with GPS rather than radio signals. Don't quite understand why in NAV mode the autopilot NAV function doesn't work as I assumed the driver for this would be the OBS indicator. Is this a fault in MSFS?
It does appear to be, yes. I need to double check it in the P2012. I read that it's a bug in the generic autopilot programming of the sim - but some aircraft might have fixed it ? I'll find out.
Yes - using heading mode - but monitoring the HSI, which is showing the route to each projected waypoint via RNAV. I deliberately chose a simple to route to make it easy to illustrate.

To me, aside from general hobby enjoyment, this is where MSFS shines. Opportunities to study navigation systems and put them into practice. Love it.
totally agree, between VOR/RNAV in GA and flying airliners I'm loving msfs
This is why I never use GPS for my IFR flights, analog navigation is so much more fun. thanks for the great video!
Thank you for making the clearest and easiest to follow tutorials for MSFS. The amount I've learned from these videos is wild.

Great video tutorial. Will definitely watch again. Love learning new things,and this was the first time Ive seen anything about RNAV.
This is great. Thanks for putting in some work on this.
I agree, Jon. Great info. I always wonder about RNAV. You explained it so even I can understand it. 😉
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! 😃
Thank you sir!
Very interesting video. Didn't know this feature.
Enjoyable, interesting and educational video.
Rnav is so cool, so much more interesting. We are spoiled by GPS. I wonder how much longer VOR stations will last.

Landing techniques, yes please!
Awesome video! Thanks for that one. Very cool stuff. Have you done a video on the ADF? I'd be interested in that video as well.
Good idea!

Right click on the map - measure distance.
@@jonbeckett Thanks. Learn something new every day 😄

@@steveflynn9279the link to all my stuff is in the notes of every video :)
Great stuff matey - quick question, as an Xbox User, how would I get details on the ILS and depending on where it is, how to set up my flight plan?
You can check charts (depending on the country) at chartfox.org
@@jonbeckett brilliant mate

Looks like you were just creating User Defined Waypoints, correct? Thanks for the video.
Yes - absolutely - waypoints based on vectors from VOR stations.
yes, that is a great way of thinking about it. RNAV is navigating the radials of your fixed waypoints, essentially creating custom waypoints indeed.
Why is the ILS course so far off the centerline of the runway? I thought this would only occur to avoid any obstacles alonge the runway centerline.
Could be for any number of reasons :)
are you just using heading mod at about 90deg
Yes - using heading mode - but monitoring the HSI, which is showing the route to each projected waypoint via RNAV. I deliberately chose a simple to route to make it easy to illustrate.
@@jonbeckett thanks for the reply
Lande with a Tail Wind.
Only a few knots. Not enough to make any difference. Generally speaking, most GA aircraft can handle up to 10 knots tailwind.
I agree. I just wanted you to know that I am paying attention. Hence the long float down the runway. Great videos.@@jonbeckett
