None of the 150's we fly have IFR equipment. I flew Almost me entire
training in a 150.

I can't figure out what this beeping thing was that I encountered the

other
day while flying a 172 from our club. I'm a fresh private and I took

my
parents to Mansfield airport for Sunday morning breakfast. When we

left on
runway 14 This beeping thing came on. I think it's a DME. I've seen

one in
use before, but I couldn't figure it out and it scared my mother half

to
death, (She thought it was a sound that meant the engine was about to

die).
How do I turn it off? This plane is equipped with the standard

NAV/COM, it
has an ADF and Garmin GPS with moving map. I tried Flipping all kinds

of
switches to turn it off and I couldn't figure it out. I knew it was a

marker
of sorts, so I knew it would go away, I just hoped it would go away

fast to
ease everyone anxiety. Any tips on how to turn it off?


I would have thought that during your 40-50 hours of pilot training a
good instructor would have shot a few approaches during duel lessons
and you would have been aware of a outer marker passage.
