Tune and Identify
hi, I just read a book ( a real book, not on kindle) about air navigation. Something called Radio Navigation (what this has to do with airplanes, I'm not sure).
Anyhoo, the book kept stressing something called: TUNE AND IDENTIFY
What does that mean? How do I do that?
;-)

Very clever compressor stall. 
sevenstrokeroll,
Tune and identify. Tune the VOR frequency in the navigation radio. It will be listed on VFR and IFR charts as well as instrument approaches if it is a part of the approach. Identify that you have the correct station and the signal is reliable by listening to the Morse code identifier.

And if you gen-Yers can't decode Compressor Stall's message, you can do it online here:
