Flying an IAF to the Course Reversal| KUAO LOC 17 | Aurora State Airport

#SimtechAviation
This video offers a deep dive into the mechanics of switching from GPS to Localizer (LOC) during the inbound leg of a course reversal. Here, you'll discover the nuances of the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) when working with GPS for Vertical Navigation (VNAV), and its transition to LOC. Be prepared for an exciting moment when the VNAV vanishes, prompting a manual descent. From understanding initial approach fixes to decoding the mysteries of flight plans, this instructional video encapsulates knowledge for your instrument training. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to elevate your navigational skills.
