ADF/NDB - Instrument Mastery 10 - 121.Mike

The ADF / NDB is all about how to use an ADF to track or find your position to an NDB. The Automatic Direction Finder always points toward the NDB. It's that simple, and even though the NDB doesn't have radials you can select from like the VOR does, you can still track them with decent precision. This video shows you how they work and how to use them.

Thank you, this was more helpful than a lot of other NDB videos.

[@121Mike]

Glad to hear it. Thanks!

Thanks you, friend. I was searching for actual ADF erratic readings due to atmospheric, terrain, and other interferences, in order to simulate (programing) it in my current development´s ADF for flight simulation, an U206F from 1973. However, I stayed with you, to learn more about the matter... I have been developing this kind of models since 1999, and ADF navigation was my preferred way to travel back in those days in FS. Pretty fun, and very educative about geometric, clock usage and such. I always point to my enthusiast-student in a FS club in my country, the utility of learning about these methods. As you say is old, is different, but it still works, so can save your live in the real world :) Again, thanks for this class.
