411A,
Cheers for replying.
I am inclined to disagree with your statement regarding whether or not you set a course on the course selector. Imagine you have the inbound course set on a standard front course (I don't want to deal with back courses....ever!) and are following runway heading. At the moment you are sitting 1.25 degrees off the centre line, shown by a half scale defection on the CDI bar. Now, whilst I agree rotating the course selector will not present any instantaneous change to the CDI indication, by continuing the turn through 180 degrees the command given by the CDI bar is now in the wrong sense ( I believe this is why, when flying back courses, autopilots have a B.C. button that MUST be pressed). Thus I believe you should always set the inbound track with the course select pointer. I shall qualify this by stating that I am basing my assumptions above on the aforementioned RANT navigation aid simulator, as I haven't flown yet with the kind of crosswind that would cause me reason to ensure I know the answer.
Anyway I'm flying tomorrow so I'll hopefully have a strong enough crosswind to find out what kind of indication my HSI's CDI gives on the missed approach.
If anyone out there can give a definitive answer on whether an aircraft that flies a localiser slightly to the right of centre line all the way down and continues right of centre line on the missed approach is given different commands from the CDI before and after the missed approach , or the same throughout the whole procedure, I'll be grateful. Ideally I'd like a reference to back up what is said, but I don't want people not to give input if they cannot provide one.
