Daniel Mckee Posted September 22, 2019 at 12:23 PM Posted September 22, 2019 at 12:23 PM On the map for FSTramp the approach to NFFN Nadi Int'l Fiji Rwy 02 shows two freq. 109.90 INN and 111.90 IFN. Can someone enlighten me as to what INN and IFN means please and when we would use either freq? NFFN used as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:55 PM Posted September 22, 2019 at 02:55 PM The real world frequency for ILS 02 at NFFN is 111.90 with the identifier IFN, localizer course 025 degrees. The other ILS-station in your scenery may be outdated.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted September 23, 2019 at 02:31 AM Posted September 23, 2019 at 02:31 AM 111.90 with the identifier IFN, localizer course 025 degrees. I take it that it's just the station identifier for that particular ILS signal. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 23, 2019 at 09:08 AM Posted September 23, 2019 at 09:08 AM As Rob wrote correctly, each navigation radio station (ILS, VOR, NDB) comes along with a name, an identifier (one to four letters from A to Z) and a frequency. The correct identifier will ensure that you are receiving the intended station and not another one from another airport nearby that may have the same frequency. When you are in range of the station AND have tuned in its frequency you will be able to listen to the morse code of its identifier. That's why you have "NAV1" or "VOR1" (and others) on your plane's audio panel. Glas cockpits will show you the identifier on the primary flight display and/or the navigation display. https://www.vatsim.net/pilot-resource-centre/ifr-specific-lessons/ifr-navigational-aids Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
