ADF

Asked by: 3765 views Aircraft Systems

What is meant by vois, music in the context below?

 

Noisy identification usually

occurs when the ADF needle is erratic. Voice, music

or erroneous identification may be heard when a

steady false bearing is being displayed. Since ADF

receivers do not have a “flag” to warn the pilot when

erroneous bearing information is being displayed, the

pilot should continuously monitor the NDB’s

 

Thanks

    NDBs broadcast on the same frequency range as AM radio. The interference, disturbances or effects being discussed in that AIM section include picking up AM radio stations.

    (The flip side of the frequency is that ADF can be used to intentionally listen to AM radio in the cockpit and use AM radio stations to navigate. May would argue that listening to football games on AM is the best use of ADF in the cockpit 😀 )
