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> | 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>.

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. | Using ILS is very similar.
