I went on a flight on Sunday to practice some radio navigation work.

It didn’t go so well…

It was bumpy as hell, but I decided to see if I could track the Simcoe (YSO) VOR inbound on the 220° radial. Didn’t happen. I got confused with the to/from flag. I was actually thinking that I had the right radial dialed in, but instead I had the reciprocal. Whoops! Flying towards the needle to intercept actually had the opposite effect. Damn that to/from flag!

At least I was able to identify station passage …
