I just saw (and posted about) the CBS documentary on youtube, and was directed here. Fascinating! I hadn't heard about this before. That had interviews of Hoot Gibson (every "Gibson" of a certain age I ever knew was called "Hoot") and other crew and passengers. It looked like Boeing made up their "flap scenario" out of whole cloth.

NDB feature doesn't work in the CS Boeing 727

Hello !
I'm trying to use the ADF on the CS Boeing 727 and I'm not able to detect any NDB's. I'm at the CYQB airport and I have three availables NDB on that airport. I think I'm doing everythings right. Both knobs on the RMI are set to ADF. Knob 6 on the ADF control panel is set to ADF and I tried the 3 possibles frequencies (QB>230 kHz, OU>329 kHz and BV>336 kHz). The tuning meter isn't moving at all. Is there something else that I should set to make this feature works?  If I use the built-in Cessna 172 it works.

Thank in advance for everyone who take the time to reply.

First of all, make sure that the ADF's Volume Control Function Selector knobs are set to ADF and not OFF!

This is ADF2. The Volume Control Function Selector knob is set to ADF and it is tuned to 329.0.

ADF 1 is tuned to 230.0 (NDB QB) and ADF 2 is tuned to 329.0 (NDB OU) and you can see that when I rotate the ADF/VOR Selector Knobs to ADF, the 727 is receiving them. Wink

Hi ! Markoz!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate.

I finally found what I was doing wrong. I didn'nt tune the exact frequencies. I was closing in but never exactly.
I was counting on the signal intensity meter to tune the exact frequency.
I guess it doesn't work like that. Now when I tune exactly the NDB frequency, it works.

Thank you !

You're welcome.

I use Cockpit Tooltips so that the exact frequency for the ADF's are displayed beside the mouse pointer.
So I understand how what happened to you happened. Grin

This is a VERY simple example, but thats how it's done.
With GPS or LNAV direct routes can be flown, but in the Jurassic Jet
we had no such fancy instruments or radios.  Grin

Just coming in late here at an old excellent thread.
LOU back then you were aviators using also what is less known nowadays as dead reckoning !

By using VORs and ADFs you knew roughly where you were and how to steer to get roughly to a desired spot. Back in the days of your flying extreme (lateral) precision did not matter. Nowadays in the effort to squeeze in as much traffic as possible is small chunks of airspace with RNPs and such (accuracy of RNAV navigation performance) things rely solely on accurate LNAV navigation equipment and multiple redundancies.
