VOR: To/From indicator
TACAN: When the range indicator stops decreasing

Question 7

Question 8

How do you maintain course using an NDB as a navigational aid?

Answer 8

Basically apply only RMI procedures. Fly a heading estimated to keep the aircraft on the selected course. If the bearing pointer indicates a deviation, return to the course avoiding excessive intercept angles. Once returning to course, re-estimate the drift correction to keep the bearing pointer centered on the desired course.
