How to Fly VOR Radials | Visualize with the HSI | Beechcraft Duchess BE76 | X-Plane 11
G'day Fellow Pilots,
For this video, I show you how I use the Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) to visualize my position with regards to the VOR I've tuned and identified. When I was first taught to fly, there were no moving maps or GPS in aircraft. Everything was via ground based navigation aids, such as VORs and NDBs.
This model of the Beechcraft Duchess BE76 has 3 different ways to display VOR information; the HSI, the Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI) and the traditional VOR display. Each VOR instrument display operates independent of the other. In this video I use all 3 instruments to confirm the aircraft position.
The HSI is my primary focus, as it is what I normally use to visualize my position with regards to the VOR and where I will be going next upon arrival over the navaid.
The HSI is a slaved Directional Gyro (DG) with the VOR / ILS information over layed on top of the DG. This is very handy for IFR flying. The HSI, just like a VOR, has 360 degree around it. The HSI degrees are marked around the edge and this is what I use to visualize the directions of the radials radiate from the center of the instrument.
So visualize this.. Turn your CDI to point in the direction you want to fly, indicating the radial you want to track along. Now imagine your located directly above the VOR looking down on it, in a plan view. The center of the HSI is where you should visualise the location of the VOR. When your tracking TOWARDS or TO the VOR station, your aircraft position will be at the bottom of the HSI where the tail of the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) needle meets the DG. (The DME will tell you how far away you are from the VOR.) The top of the HSI will always indicate your aircraft heading. Using the HSI as a top down view, use it to plan what direction of turn you will make when you get overhead the VOR. Once you pass overhead the VOR and are tracking AWAY or FROM the VOR station, then your position is where the head of the HSI needle indi
How to Fly and configure a G1000 aircraft to fly a NDB approach without ADF onboard your aircraft. It is quite straight forward using the GPS, OBS and bearing pointers to fly the approach. It is a lot easier than flying the traditional NDB approach using the older style 6 pack instrumentation with a fixed card ADF.

This approach plate is NOT to be used for navigation purposes. By the time you watch this video, the approach procedure may very well have changed. Always use current instrument approach charts when flying.
In reality, your unlikely to fly the NDB approach when you can fly a GPS RNAV approach into the same airport instead. However, now you know how to fly a NDB approach in an aircraft with the G1000 instrumentation.
