Figure 1-27 Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)

Here is a technique which will aid in orienting yourself using the RMI:

1. Place an imaginary aircraft on the tail of the VOR/TACAN needle with its nose pointed to

the top of the instrument. Do this when you look at the tail of the VOR/TACAN needle to

determine your radial (Figure 1-28).

Imagine the VOR or TACAN station being at the center of the RMI.
