KI-227 ADF - Why?

[MattS]

Yes, I understand - I’m wondering why that plane had it!...

[MattS]

Interesting - never considered that!

Fortunately all my (nautical) gyro use has been in more temperate climates!...

[MattS]

[MattS]

Yes the kit is free!

[MattS]

I don’t like you and I don’t think your entitled ultimatums serve any useful purpose....

[MattS]

Not a critical question, but I’m curious if anyone knows why the DC-6 that our plane was modeled after has the KI-227 ADF indicators with the manually...

[MattS]

I’m surprised to hear this. Have you mentioned it before?...

[MattS]

That is really cool, thanks Gary!

[MattS]

Always good to know it when I am not the problem, lol. Thanks!...

[MattS]

Awesome, thank you - I appreciate the AIM cite, makes perfect sense.

As far as “trying it again in the sim” goes, I mentioned that because...

[MattS]

Thanks…in the sim, I think it stopped receiving around 40NM, cruising at 14,000ft. I will probably try it again to see for sure.

IRL does...

[MattS]

Thanks - definitely something I will try in the sim…would it be legal IRL?...

[MattS]

This question is not specific to the DC-6, but I encountered a VOR navigation issue while flying the DC-6 that I could not figure out.

Flying...

Hit the “L” key…then the light switches will have an effect....
