[[File:MiG-21bis VOR and ILS radio panel.png|thumb|The radio panel on the left cockpit wall is for VOR and ILS navigation. The switch to the left of the panel at the bottom is used to choose between ADF (ARC) and VOR (RSBN)]] | |||
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. | 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>.
