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.

My instructor never taught me how to duel. That's why both of us are
still alive.

Why would you think this??? It's not in the usual VFR syllabus.

I considered my VFR instructor an outstanding instructor, and not once did
we even look at the ILS features of NAV1 or NAV2.

His focus for teaching me landing techniques was outside the cockpit, not
on instruments inside.

Now, this all changed in my instrument training *smile*.

None of the planes I flew in training even *had* a marker beacon receiver.

He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an
adequate understanding of truth and falsehood.

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

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)

Is it necessarily the case though that a VFR pilot would have been
told about IFR radio functions? I know I wasn't told anything about
IFR radio procedures other than how to use the VOR nav functions.

I'm pretty sure I would have been just as mystified by the beeping as
the original poster.

I would think that a pilot would be taught basic things, on everything in
the plane, at least to the level of turning it off.

Hey Slick,

Person before you probably was doing an ILS approach into your airport and
had NAV1 set up for the ILS for runway 32. As you climbed out, you passed
over the marker beacons that are designed for ILS approaches for runway 32.

Just turn the NAV1 frequency to another frequency, and that would have
turned the marker beacon off.

Allen

Allen,

I'm just now learning about all this IFR stuff so I could be wrong
here. I'm under the impression that the markers are on "fixed"
frequencies not associatied with the NAVs.

I will look into this more...
