Hi Andy :hello:

Yes.. I found it somewhat wanting when keeping a VOR heading although it did do it after a fashion. In the interest of your sanity.. perhaps it would be better (certainly easier) to use the AP to control Heading via the Heading Index Set control (grey knob) while having the VOR set on Nav1. It maintains track much tighter doing it this way and all you'd have to do is set the next VOR as you pass over your current one.. note it's heading then turn the Heading Index Set needle to the new heading. This way is a lot less fraught than flying VOR to VOR using BEAM ;)

Hi,

thanks for your assists Dave....from now it will be enough to set up a VOR to VOR flight plan, which works perfectly with the SFS reciever set to Off, the bottom switch set to the right (Nav 1) and Autopilot set to Beam.

Cheers,

Andy.
