LGSK NDB 01 Questions

[liltoe]

Hi there, I tried flying an NDB approach in MSFS20 and some things left me confused.

1. For this 007 Degrees on final - does it meant that my ADF needle must point to 007 degrees when NDB SKC is tuned in?
2. Lets say that I am flying level altitude at my minimums 1600ft and I have the RWY in sight, when can I start descending below it? What if PAPI lights are too far away for me to know if I am on a correct path?

Its not letting me post the chart because I am a new user but If you can help I will pm it

The Papis are set at 3 degrees so if you start your descent from 1600 ft at 4.8 miles from the threshold and use 5 x ground speed for ROD it should be close enough until you see the PAPIS. In reality they’re not that good in bright sunshine, it’s an easier approach at night, but don’t know how well MSF will simulate that.

Liltoe, first of all, welcome to the pprune threads.

I appreciate that it was your first post, but there are specific threads here on pprune for the information that you have asked for.

This is the Airlines, Airports & Routes thread.

Where we discuss Airlines, Airports & Routes.

May I suggest the Computers/Internet Issues & Troubleshooting thread which might be of interest to you 😉

[S.o.S.]

Thank you Sotonsean for your welcome and helpful reply to liltoe. Other forums to try might be Private Flying or Spotters. Either way, I hope you can return to talk about commercial flying here or in Pax & SLF.
