Hi

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on how to use this gauge on the beech baron to navigate ?

 

 

 

Thanks

The FSX tutorials!

Here you go. Its all here

Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)

We learned about VOR instruments and navigation in the VFR series. The Baron uses an instrument that combines a VOR and ADF in one instrument along with a compass card that automatically rotates to represent current aircaraft heading. This card is controlled remotely by a gyrocompass. Both needles show the absolute magnetic bearing to the respective NDB and VOR stations, and the tails indicate the magentic bearing from. Simple, huh?

The green arrow is showing VOR bearing 055 and no signal on the yellow ADF needle. By convention, these needles will always point to 3 o'clock on the instrument when no signal is received.

 

Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)

 

The Baron has another nifty instrument that helps reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness. The HSI combines the heading indicator and CDI. The combination of the navigation information from VOR/LOC (Localizer) with aircraft heading information provides a visual picture of the aircraft's heading and direction. This picture to the left shows the aircraft heading 098 degrees (under the white lubber line), three dots left of the localizer which is set (OBS) to 077. Heading bug (brown color that matches the knob lower right) is also set to 077. Notice the TO arrow underneath the CDI, and the glideslope scale and pointers on both sides of the instrument. Here we are well below the glideslope. We know NAV1 is receiving an ILS rather than a VOR because glideslope information is present.

Brilliant, thank you.
