I would recommend getting with the instructor in the club who checked
you out in and endorsed you to fly the 172. That club instructor should
be familiar with the radios and audio panels and be able to 1) address
the issue and 2) provide some instruction on the subject for you.
Getting someone to troubleshoot "beeping" over usenet is probably not
nearly as effective.

Of course, this recommendation is based on the assumption that you are
in a flying club that requires checkouts by club instructors (which has
been the case for me)

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.
