Hi All,

In the standard 737, there are two Nav radios. There is no way of selecting them individually. That said, when I press VORLOC, does the aircraft look only at Nav1?

Thanks in advance for your wise counsel!

Best,

How do you mean, selecting them individually? On the pedestal you can set both NAV radios to a different frequency.
I think the VOR/LOC always uses NAV1 though.

Hi Drak,

Thanks for your input. By selecting individually, I mean the ability to link either one exclusively to the VORLOC.

I too suspect that the VORLOC only looks at Nav1, trouble is it isn't documented anywhere ---

Best,

It's documented in PMDG's FCOM2 manual: if you select autopilot A then VOR/LOC uses Nav radio #1, if you use AP B then it's Nav radio #2.
