Brief description of the issue:

The aircraft has got a NAV1 and NAV2 radios. However, there is currently no gauge to make use of the NAV2 radio. Both pilot-side as well as co-pilot-side VOR gauge is linked to NAV1 (thus rendering the NAV2 radio useless).

Please consider linking the co-pilot-side VOR gauge to NAV2 so that we can use both NAV1 and NAV2 radios (NAV1 linked to pilot-side VOR and NAV2 linked to co-pilot-side VOR).

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Tune one VOR into NAV1 radio and a different VOR into NAV2 radio. Make sure both VORs are in range and the signal is received. Check that both VOR gauges (pilot-side as well as co-pilot-side) are linked to NAV1 radio and there is no use of NAV2 radio.

Our test team looked over this report and has found out that NAV2 does work, but it’s a little tricky.

  1. The NAV 1 Radio allows the pilot side CDI to select the OBS

  2. The Nav 2 radio OBS is selected on the Copilot side

  3. Toggling the Pilot side selector switch (ILS1/ILS2 button) switches between Nav 1 and 2.

  4. If the pilot wants to track a radial for Nav 2 they must select the OBS on the copilot side and choose ILS 2 as the source

  5. if they pilot wants to track a Nav 1 radial they must be ILS 1 and set the OBS on on the pilot side CDI.

  6. The HSI is toggled by the pilot side (bottom right) nav selector buttons and acts as an ADF as expected since it does not have OBS so it works by pointing to the selected station (VOR 1 or VOR 2 aka Nav 1/nav 2). It does not display course deviation only the bearing TO the station. This is correct.

  7. The pilot is able to use nav 2 as described in step 1-3 or they can use it as described in step 4.
