Set up "direct" to destination, hit the OBS button and spin the HSI to the runway heading. The 530 will display a nice magenta line approximating the extended runway centerline to give you nice situational awareness for your base-to-final turn.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />FrankFrank Van Hastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821687850881538546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-31900792246755762982013-09-05T11:12:05.854+00:002013-09-05T11:12:05.854+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382331393491354074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-42806928654373465052013-09-05T02:50:34.404+00:002013-09-05T02:50:34.404+00:00Good One.

I <a href="http://flyingsummers.com/2013/08/25/three-new-rules-for-landing-at-night/" rel="nofollow">wrote about it here</a>. <br /><br />You lost yours behind a cloud and in the dark and I lost mine in a huge field of similar lights, but it does make me feel a little bit better that it happens to professional, high time pilots.
