Tune and swap the NAV radio
beginnerSet a VOR frequency in standby, then flip it to active.
Start this scenario
Opens the SimTuts G1000 simulator with “Tune and swap the NAV radio” already running, so you can walk through it step-by-step on the simulated glass cockpit.
Open trainer →Step-by-step: Tune and swap the NAV radio
- Tune the NAV standby frequency up to 108.50.
You always build the new frequency in standby so the active NAV keeps working until you are ready.
- Swap standby and active so 108.50 becomes the active NAV frequency.
The swap makes your tuned VOR live on the HSI.
