AnnaNass Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I have both off flags in the HSI - the CDI works but the glideslope indicator wont works. Is it normal atm or does anyone have a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamin_Squirrel Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Are you approaching the runway from the correct direction? I don't just mean landing on the runway with the PRMG available when it's only available in one direction (fairly obvious), but it only works for the active runway, even when it's shown on the map for both (less obvious).

AnnaNass Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I approached the runway in use by atc. And the weather was bad enough: low overcast and fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbysieger Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Which airbase and which direction? There are only 4 airbases equipped with RSBN and PRMG and only two of them have PRMG for approaches from either direction (but only for the active runway). The sytem works fine on my end so without more details I can only assume that it's a user error.

AnnaNass Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 It was Kras. C. with 27 in use. In the mission editor i set the wind direction to 090 but the wind in the mission was 270, so the wind setup is 180 degrees inverted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbysieger Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There you go, RWY27 at Center has no PRMG. And yes, the wind in the Editor is to, not from.

AnnaNass Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 yep, tried it with "really" eastern wind. Rwy 09 in use and it works without off flags. but i have off flags with normal RSBN navigation. Bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRMG is the only source that should activate the glideslope indicators.

Tarres Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It´s its normal behaviour. You are in "navigation mode" so the PRMG part of the system is turned off. When you are in "Glide Path mode" you´ve got one flag off in the HSI and in the ADI (if the SDU is activated) When you are in landing mode, the PRMG part of the RSBN-5S/RSBN-4N is activated and the flags are off (in the HSI and in the ADI if the SDU is on) if you are in position to intercept the signals of the system. Pg-131 of the manual: "RSBN-5S: navigation system". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaNass Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 RSBN is just bearing and range I think. PRMG is the only source that should activate the glideslope indicators. RSBN is like VOR (Very high frequency omniderictional bearing) in western planes and for bearing, range AND CDI (curse deviation indicator). In the HSI you have to deviation indicators: CDI and GDI (glidepath deviation indicator). In navigation mode the CDI has to work (it works) and the off flag of the CDI has to disappear (doesn't work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarres Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) RSBN is "a sort of" VOR but not exactly a VOR The off flag works in landing and glide path mode. "Flags" are related to the SDU subsystem: from the Aero L-39 manual: pg 1-62 and pg 1-78 The pilot switches on the SDU system manually after penetrating area of stable receiving the localizer signal, which is indicated by disappearing of the "K" warning flag. SDU activation is indicated by hidden "K" and "T" (well, it´s not an F, but I can´t write in cirilyc...) warning flags on the RMI.
