Fly the NDB Approach into Shannon, VA | NDB Approach | ADF Flying

Does any one still use NDBs? There are a few active NDB approaches left especially in Alaska and Maine and throughout Canada. Let's fly one into Shannon Virginia in this repost of an old FlightInsight video.
Check out IFR ground school at flight-insight.com/ifr

I'm a crazy fan of the old way of conventional navigation, VOR NDB approach, with analog instruments, nowadays airplane piloting, it looks like a play station. As I am also a mad enthusiast of aviation and flight simulators, for 34 years. Unfortunately, the flight simulator is not within everyone's reach, especially FS2020 is really too expensive to run it, as before. Finally, I'm talking about emerging countries like mine ! Thank you from Algiers, Algeria !!

Use X-Plane 11 with the classic C-172. Works well.

This is a very underrated channel. Start liking all the videos to get this guy to 100K!

Nice burp around 10:20 😜

[@johnopalko5223]

I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and presume that he just bumped the microphone. 😀

[@mgv92115]

Was that a burp around 10:22???

I nailed the NDB in a fairly stiff crosswind to pass my Instrument checkride. I have been partial to them ever since. They are a challenge, but we don't see them much anymore.

There’s a NDB approach at Friday Harbor KFHR. It’s at the San Juan islands here north of Seattle. Great vacation spot :) grab a plane up here and shoot a practice approach.

I still can't believe I had to do one of these, partial panel for the CFII!

[@mattbasford6299]

I had to teach my CFII how to fly an NDB approach

[@erikpickard9078]

Thanks!

[@deanc.5984]

I flew a ndb on my instrument check ride back in 1996!

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Flying an NDB approach with strong winds not aligned to your course takes a LOT of practice. I had to do that for my IFR checkride on a very windy, gusty day, with more than a 45 degree WCA.

Nice demo..recommend if doing in real life (mor and more unlikely) maintain continuous listening watch of the ADF Morse code .

[@viktorkarlsson4900]

worldclass!

[@uzairkhodabux6897]

Can you do a video for the ils approach in the sim?

[@FabioNunesTripleSeven]

How did you get the numbers on the knobs like the couse on the ADF and on heading? Mine dose not say the numbers. Just the name of the knobs

[@pengfeini3227]

Can you do a video to explain what diffrence between contact approach and visual approach? when to do it and how to do it? thanks a lot.

[@johnanders9639]

I think there is already one uploaded. The video is mostly about visual approaches but they mention the contact approach.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

The answer of when to do a contact approach is: never. Pretty much the most dangerous thing you can do in flying.

[@MrThundercat1989]

I tried to replicate this exactly on fergonez, but if I want to „pull“ the tail to the right and fly to the right, the tail actually goes to the left. So exactly the opposite as shown here. What am I making wrong? Thanks ins advance for any help

[@Buntulla]

What airplane is this on Microsoft flight sim? I’ve been looking for a plane on mfs with a g430

[@dustinkeller2215]

What if you re onlyequipped with an rbi not an rmi

[@nunofigueiredo5401]

10:21 😂😂😂

[@mattbasford6299]

That is NOT how I was taught to do an NDB approach at all. A lot of unnecessary and confusing twisting, especially in the clouds hand flying. I don't have an autopilot. I love the channel though

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Too much work. Leave azimuth on “N”. Use the heading on the DG to orient yourself. If the needle is pointing 10 left or 350 then you are 10 degrees off. If you turn left 20 degrees, the needle will indicate 30 degrees. Then you wait until the needle points again 20 degrees. When you go back right to the heading, it will be centered. Alway turn to the head regardless if it’s up or down.

[@ndev8593]

This didn’t make any sense to a newbie. When you mention certain instruments why not put a line under them or maybe circle them so we can look straight at them. I spent too much time looking around to see what you were looking at

[@johnopalko5223]

Newbies are not his intended audience for this series of videos. Instrument flying is an advanced topic. The assumption is that the viewer already knows the basics of flying, what the various instruments are, and how to use and interpret them. There are many excellent videos out there that explain the basics. Go watch some. Ask a pilot. We love to talk about flying; the problem is getting us to shut up. Maybe take a discovery flight. If you're really interested and dedicated, spend a few hundred bucks on an on-line ground school or sit down with a flight instructor or a ground instructor. Learn the basics and then come on back here. You will get so much more out of it once you have the background.

[@Themheals]

Isnt it 45 seconds and not a minute? Where do I read that its a minute?

[@RedSailor1701]

Anyone else notice 10:22? 🥲😂 that just brightened my day up hahaha
