A good guide on the Nav' side of the Tornado. I will be revisiting later when I finally get to fly a sortie. I purchased 3 weeks ago, but real life and two young sons are using my valuable flying hours.

Thanks for this clear and concise guide, very helpful.

Great video, you can also go from any VOR/ILS freq to a tacan by minusing 106.3 and timesing it by ten. If the frequency ends in 0 its an X channel. If it ends in a 5 its a Y channel.

Fantastic, helpful and timely video. Many thanks! With your help, I have now achieved a couple of (relatively) successful ILS approaches in the Tornado. Great stuff!

Well that eats my lunch, my nav has never complemented me on my landings all i get is ouch and a lot of swearing. Nice video Steve you've pointed out some useful operations that I've been looking for.

Nice work. Not modelled, but we used to practice internal aids approaches. Enter Lat and Long of runway threshold, enter the True track of the runway approach path. Find the runway and threshold on radar (GPS helped a lot with GR4), then Track steer to give the pilot cross track range and countdown to intercept the Azimuth, and range to threshold, then give altitudes to be at based on a 3 deg glidepath...pretty easy maths, works out at 300ft per NM, so at 4NM you need to be at 1200ft above airfield. It was a nice back-up if ILS not available, or Talkdown not available or just to monitor an approach.

I've been trying to find a tutorial to show how to tune the Freq's in. Thank you. 👌🏻

New subscriber here 😁 Great videos on the Tonka! Bought it yesterday but haven’t flown it yet as I’ve been looking through the manual and watching a few YT videos. These have been superb as I’ve been concerned about navigating it. Have you done one on the autopilot/AFDS system?

Great video! How do you switch between front and rear positions? Cheers, Stéph.

good guide ,thks Steve ! possible to upload the flightplan to your google drive for download .... nice route in Austria to try , looking forward for more tips & tricks on the Tornado

Hello, does the APPR mode of the autopilot work on this plane to provide (almost) auto-landing? I have the X-Trident Tornado for X-Plane and it works very nicely there. Also, how do you switch to the WSO seat without the avatar getting in the way?

shouldn't your wing sweep be 67 degrees at low level and at that speed,also did you have any problems downloading MSFS,or did you get the 10 Disc box, apparently you have to download it in the uk???

Do you do a trip where you use the approach mode of the autopilot to fly the ILs?

Hello just want to start by saying thanks the helpful video and clear presentation. Im just wondering if you could give me some advice on a problem I’m having,I’m very much a novice, I’ve managed to set up the tacans on the HSI but can’t get the glide slope to function, I have the HSI mode on approach1 and lakenheath tacan set so the green arrow which is correctly pointing towards lakenheath and the glide flag is present in the gauge but the glide slope bars remain fixed in the middle. Do I have to have the tacan mode on a specific setting? I’m playing on Xbox which may,I’m not sure, make it not function. Hopefully what I’ve said makes some sense. Just for context the bar movement that occurs between 12:26 and 13:14 is what isn’t functioning for me.

I thought the Tornado’s License was expired?
