Default RMI and ADF trainers

Hello all, just curious if there are any good RMI and ADF trainers out there to start getting the hang of them. I am a CFII and just have never flown a plane that utilizes either of these and I think I could figure them out with a decent sim and a couple books... Anyone know of anything on the internet?

Hey Rick,

Try this trainer, it helped a lot when I was working on my instrument and CFII. Very basic, but you can move the station and aircraft around and switch between VOR, RMI, ADF etc.

I love that program, taught many IFR students with it. It's great because it's something simple, and anyone can set it up from home!

BTW, RMI's are easy, the fixed card ADF can be challenging, but a strong mental calculator makes for quick work!

I'll vouch for Tims Airnav, great stuff. There also used to be a site of something like professionalpilot.ca but I've been having trouble bringing it up. It had a great ILS/VOR tutorial as well as ADF/RMI stuff.

The USAF made flying an RMI or ADF a very challenging event and then someone told me, "You are ALWAYS on the TAIL of the needle." The tail ALWAYS moves with you. It is really that simple. Good luck...
