While in flight, ensure that the NAVIG/PROCEED/LANDING switch on the left side of the gun sight is set to either <code>NAVIG</code> or <code>PROCEED</code>. Set the RSBN/ARC switch on the left cockpit wall to RSBN. Set your VOR channel using the left knob on the VOR radio. If information is received from a ground radio station, the green lights on the radio will illuminate indicating whether bearing (<code>Azimuth</code>) and/or distance (<code>dist</code> information is being received. Note that this input overrides and overwrites the internal navigation system. If contact with a VOR is lost, then the internal navigation system will still point towards that VOR, so be sure to check the green lights to make sure you are within range.

Using ILS is very similar. Ensure that the NAVIG/PROCEED/LANDING is set to <code>LANDING</code>, and select your ILS channel using the right nob on the VOR radio. ILS will illuminate the green lights, and override the internal navigation system, just like the VOR would.
