VOR Help for Navigation

[iamblue91]

Hi there!

I know this is user error, but sometimes I can't pick up any of the VOR. I've confirmed on LittleNavpMap they're VORDME. I get the distance remaining changing, but the yellow arrow doesn't move nor can I engage V/L.

I have NAV switched for both, VHF NAV switch selected to On, no flight plan loaded on the planning page, and FMS as no option.

I know it's user error - any tips?

@iamblue91 Not 100% sure but it looks to me like your flight directors are still off? I think they may need to be on for the NAV function to show. (not certain it's just my normal flow to put them on before tuning radios).

I think while you are standing on ground, you are simply too low to catch the VOR signal.

@hama I often get it at EGNT but I guess depending on the location it could be masked at very low level.

Dammit, that happened to me yesterday and I just couldn't work out why the yellow arrow didn't come alive!
