■VOR functions

DTo select the CDI mode

To show the deviation between your ﬂying course and the de-

sired course, push , then push [4•CDI] to select the CDI mode.

Operating frequency can not be

changed.

Each course deviation arrow

indicates a two-degree deviation. Course indicator is fixed, but it can be changed with the tuning dial or keypad.

D‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ ﬂag selection

The to-from ﬂag indicators indicate whether the VOR naviga- tion information is based on a course leading to the VOR sta- tion or leading away from the VOR station.

Push , then push [3•FROM] or [2•TO] to change the ﬂag from ‘TO’ to ‘FROM’ or vice versa, respectively.

DTo select the DVOR mode

When entering the NAV band, 108.000–117.975 MHz, the IC-A24 selects the DVOR mode automatically.

To show your aircraft’s direction to (or from) the VOR station,

push , then push [1•DVOR] to select the DVOR mode.

Operating frequency can not be changed.

Course deviation needle does not appear.

Course indicator shows your direction to (or from) the VOR station.

NOTE:

•When using the ‘TO’ ﬂag and passing through the VOR station, the ‘TO’ ﬂag changes to the ‘FROM’ ﬂag automatically.

•When turning power ON, the ‘FROM’ ﬂag is selected automati- cally.

DSelecting the next VOR station when using
