Hey, i'm trying to learn VOR to VOR navigation, like.. for the good old planes i have that have no GPS/INS/FMC onboard.
I'm having a hard time finding a tutorial that also covers how to get to the airfield.

Now, taking of and following my route isn't a problem. But when i passed my last waypoint, how do i get to the destination airfield?
I've been searching for a couple of days now but i can't seem to find anything  :mellow:.

Regards,
Dominique  ^_^

Find an approach chart of your destination. That will tell you how to get from the last waypoint in your flightplan to the runway. Alternatively, if your aiport has a VOR or NDB you can fly to that and do a pattern to land. Have a look in the FSX tutorial flihts if you don't know how to fly a pattern.

I'll look in the tutorial again,

Thanks for the reply 

If you are flying in the US, go to airnav.com and get the sectional or hi/low altitude enroute charts, then plan your route

This has everything you need to know about VOR and other non GPS navigations

Outbound radials

Plot the outbound radial from the VOR to the airport. Set that on your VOR and center the CDI.  A distance/speed/time calculation will get you there.

VFR sectional and pen and paper. I use roads, power lines and mountain features to figure out where I am. VOR and NDB is used to triangulate too.

This is IMO  the best best  site to get  vor to vor , since it will give you  the weather, landing  charts on large airports etc,  you have  to plan your route  first though

You can find information about VOR/NDB navigation and reading charts etc. in the Angle of Attack Aviator90 video lessons. Check out there website, it's a whole series of video lessons for free.

You can also use VfrFlight to find radials without planning your route.

 

Here is how to do it:

It's a bit hard in true darkness :(

I often fly in germany, and there are areas i pass that have little to no lightning by streetlights and stuff.

I'm already subscribed there, i'll be sure to take a look again.

I already got a flight planner, but i'll check this one out too.
