How to fly a DME arc (without FMS)

How to fly a DME arc old school - using the CDI or the RMI

[@crarmstrong]

Cheers for this. Just found out today that tomorrow I have to fly a DME arc for the first time in months, and this was a great refresher.

[@sgebran665]

Thanks, I needed a plain and simple explanation like yours.

[@MrFer0072]

It's better to set the course correctly. If you are flying heading 160° to the VOR You need to set the course also in 160° and you will know you are in the 340° radial looking the needle of the tail. Otherwise it can create confusion and also spatial disorientation.

[@robsale1]

Very good and useful tutorial for refreshment in my case, thank you so much.

[@mikem.3412]

Bravo Philipp, absolutely excellent!

[@seetheworldwithben747]

very good video. Danke

[@CAVOKAY]

Thank you very much for the explanation. You saved my life. Thanks!

[@EricMeyerMusic]

At 3:24 you briefly turn on the bearing pointer which shows the bearing and distance to the VOR that you're arcing, but then you say "Nope, that's not what I wanted." because you were wanting to change the wind presentation. But it's actually really easy to fly a DME arc using the bearing pointer. Simply keep the bearing pointer at 9 o'clock while keeping an eye on the DME info in the BRG NAV1 window below the HSI. No need to keep turning the CRS and centering the HSI.

[@XPlanePhil]

And if you had actually watched the video before commenting, you'd have seen that I do exactly that for the second arc. 🤦‍♂️

[@EricMeyerMusic]

Philipp Ringler, you're right, my apologies... I did not watch the video all the way through before commenting.

[@sterlingb898]

Awesome video! Keep the great content coming!

[@Notaslave1961]

Great demonstration

[@hectoroliden7151]

Excelente congratulations very good explanation

[@danielkennedy1524]

Excellent instruction! Thanks!

[@thegeek3348]

this video really needed the approach plate along side the pfd. without it it's hard to understand why you are doing things.

[@XPlanePhil]

There is no approach plate, because this was not a published arc. I just flew an arc at an arbitrary distance around an arbitrary location to show how it's done.

[@SM-rt3vw]

Great. Thank you very much. It was so helpful

[@nmadboy8774]

thank u man, i only knew how to do that t with ndb and not with g1000, thx again :)

[@davisjasmin]

im not sure all versions of the G1000 have RMI.

[@patriciocanales6025]

NIce video man, appreciate it!

[@bangalpro]

What program are you using to make this video

[@JohnRobertson22]

If you pull up your nav on either side of the hsi you can see your dme for verification

[@XPlanePhil]

No, that's not DME. That's a GPS-derived range. Unlike DME, it is not subject to slant nor DME-Bias. Depending on the regulation you are flying under, this can be substituted for actual DME. If you are flying IFR under FAA rules, you can use this as DME substitute just fine. Under EASA regulations however, this is not a legal substitute for DME in IFR flight.

[@juusojd]

Very useful tutorial. Thank you!

[@nedy08]

Do you know if it is possible to do dual VORs on the G1000? So for example, you could arc with NAV 2, and have your final approach course set into nav 1?

[@coryt490]

you can but you only get 1 cdi

[@lorendjones]

@@coryt490 Actually, you can get up to three needles displayed on the HSI, one GPS and two VOR/LOC needles.

[@coryt490]

@@lorendjones that's true. I was thinking about displaying CDI needles and not the bearing pointers

[@agustinbongiovanni4124]

Thank you man!

[@rorypullman]

so on an older vor indicator theres a to and from indication. Is crs to or from a vor?

[@XPlanePhil]

That indicator is also there on the electronic representation of the HSI: it's the triangle that points either to the arrow's head (TO) or to the tail (FROM) of the needle.

[@rorypullman]

@@XPlanePhil so the crs number is a radial number?

[@marshallhyasi6213]

Great great video thx !!

[@AGRANT716]

So there is more to msfs2020 than just lifting off and hitting the autopilot

[@strider00111]

Good stuff!!!

[@cherfieldm]

Thanks for .haring, I just need some enlightenment, I think it would be good if you could show us the map or the DME arc, thanks.

[@XPlanePhil]

23:00

[@user-lq6ys4qj4b]

What's the name of this program?

[@XPlanePhil]

X-Plane 11

[@user-yq1fn5em8e]

Thank you. What kind of flight simulator is it?? I am trying to find a simulator that has g1000

[@XPlanePhil]

This is a yet unreleased development version of X-Plane 11 we are currently working on.

[@camro3189]

이선아 Hello. Have you heard of the Simionic G1000 with apple iPad. You can download the PFD & MFD in separate apps. It's just like having the real thing on your lap,it is also connectable to XPlane. The detail with it will just blow your mind. Hope this helps!

[@zimmerman630]

i paid $10 for the Simionic g1000 on my ipad and its absolutely trash. I dont have xplane and was trying to use the G1000 on my ipad and the buttons and knobs are just unresponsive and hard to control

[@villullo77]

Is not reverse sensing the Neddle ? Why is not pointing in the same CRS?

[@im4glades]

villullo77 the G1000’s HSI will correct for reverse sensing automatically. Don’t always count on it, though- make sure that the GRS is fully functional. It is a good practice to always have your course selected be the same as your direction you are traveling towards. The only exception to that would be if flying a localizer back course

[@nizaralyas3800]

Arent you supposed to place the Pointed Needle the other way around? Why is it opposite?

[@OBENSquad_21]

So you turn the airplane first not the CDI hahah welp Thank you
