ADF range only 13NM?
-
Hello,
I bought the Piper recently and I noticed that it won't actually activate until I come really close to the NDB.
Last flight the ADF activated on around 12-13NM distance. I was on the sea, there were no topographical obstructions.Is that a bug?
Best Regards
Piperpilot

AFAIK this is an MSFS rather than PA28 issue. There are NDBs with incorrect frequencies, incorrect ranges etc.
A quick test is to tune the EGBB NDB (406.0) which should have a much longer range.

NDB ranges can be very different...

Here is a good explanation of the different types of NDB stations...

Oh, didnt know that. 15 Miles range for NDB is quite low! Thanks for the clarification
