"PILOT ERROR" .... once again me thinks !!!! ;D

Everything works "PERFECTLY" .... if its used "CORRECTLY" !!!!

Have you read my "MD80/90 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES" posting which I keep promoting ?

And in particular ....

Have you read "SECTION 2" of these said notes .... along with the cited seperate references in regard to the NAV Radios on both the "GOLDING WHITE" and "GOLDING RED" panel version descriptions ?

These notes "ARE" our online/forum base manual/s for each of the 4 MDX panel versions we currently offer.

The following extracts from these NOTES are surely sufficient to help you ....

- The NAV1/NAV2 RADIOS are located on AP panel and to the right of the LANDING and NG lighting switches (or use SHIFT 3 keyboard commands), are cycled using large knob below the radio frequency windows. COM/VHF1/VHF2/ADF1 are cycled using the available tabs. PLEASE NOTE .... ADF2 is not available. Refer to the "ADDITIONAL NOTES - NAV1/NAV2/ADF/COM1/COM2 RADIOS" section of these notes for information regarding the functionality of both the NAV and COM Radios in this panel version.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

NAV1/NAV2/ADF/COM1/COM2 RADIOS

The NAV Radios featured in this panel version function differently from those of most other FS panels.

The visible NAV 1 Radio frequency cannot be adjusted in MP view.

To select another Radio frequency .... and/or change between NAV1/NAV2/ADF/COM1/COM2 Radios .... the RADIO STACK sub panel must first be commanded into view using the following keyboard commands

SHIFT 3

The default NAV 1 radio box, located on the top left side of the AP section of the MP, below the windshield, is then replaced by the RADIOS sub panel .... featuring all necessry Radio options.

All NAV1/NAV2/ADF/COM1/COM2 Radio frequencies in this panel version are controlled from the RADIOS sub panel.

Clicking the "VHF1, VHF2, ADF, COM1, COM2" tabs, located below the left/"Active" Radio frequency box on this RADIOS sub panel, cycles the "Active" box between NAV1/NAV2/ADF/COM1/COM2 radios.

To change Radio frequencies .... the large round knob, located to the right of the Radio Stack, must be used to enter a frequency into the right/"Standby" box.

In NAV1/2 or COM1/2 mode .... clicking the top and bottom left sides of this knob will raise and lower (respectively) the 3-digit prefix of any NAV frequency. Clicking the top and bottom right sides of this knob will raise and lower (respectively) the 2-digit suffix of any NAV frequency. In ADF mode .... clicking the left side of this knob cycles the first digit of any ADF frequency. Clicking the center of this knob cycles the second digit of any ADF frequency. Clicking the right side of this knob cycles the third digit of any ADF frequency.

The selected Radio frequency must then be cycled from the right/"Standby" box to the left/"Active" box using the transfer tab located between both.

AGAIN .... it all works well/propely .... "IF" used "CORRECTLY"

ONCE AGAIN .... these notes apply to both the "GOLDING WHITE" and GOLDING RED" MDX panel versions only.
