Cloud9 Phantom Question

[thomasburnside]

How do I navigate in the Phantom I usually fly to luechars for flying aircraft for the first time but in the phantom I cant. Can anyone help me please.

Without having seen or heard of this product, can I suggest you check out the manual. I've only ever bought 1 Cloud9 product and it came with really good documentation.

I ve looked through the manual and I cant find anything.

There is a long and involved discussion on this a/c over at SOH. Perhaps they can assist.

Don't know if it will be of any help, but in the Iris Phantoms I used the VOR/TACANs for navigation. You follow the track in the round scope.

I actually found it quite enjoyable.

Okay - just correcting myself - it's a while since I flew this aircraft. The beacon signal is displayed as lines on the CDI, I think, and you just have to keep them lined up as you do on an ILS beam.

The CDI is directly behind the handle part of the joystick, which makes it a bit of a pain to see, at times. So you just enter in the VOR frequency in the Nav radio, then keep the vertical line on the CDI centred with the 0° azimuth line.
I've been meaning to have another go at this, so I will give it a try and let you know if it I remember it correctly. Should be the same in any Phantom model, of course, as long as the nav system is functioning.

I ve looked through the manual and I cant find anything.

Well, look again: Page 51 about the Horizontal Situation Indicator / TACAN and pages 84-85 and 92.

[J0hn]

Well in that case, I don't need to report back on it

[thomasburnside]

Ive looked at the pages 84-85 and 92 but thats frequency.

[DaveB]

Dare I say it but you need frequencies to navigate
