Sutton Bank is left of the OTR-Kirkbymoorside radial not right so it is little wonder that the needle did not centre.
Not if you are flying south its not, I had turned and was heading south, I entered the radial as a position fix at kirkbymoorside and it said fly right towards sutton bank.

Northern highflyer,
I have never been shown how to use the RNAV so dont normally switch it on but I wonder if this could have been the cause, I tuned the VOR into NAV/comm 1 but perhaps the OBI was still swiched to RNAV is that possible? it would explain everything. I think I will book a couple of hours and see if I can get the hang of the RNAV.
