Where can I find some documentation on using the NAV equipment and Autopilot on the 727-200. I am clueless and the manual doesn't have anything on it.

Thanks for all the info! I took my 727 check ride list night, waiting on my results..... I have my fingers crossed. I was a little up and down on my final approach. I loved the VOR to VOR flying I had to do. I would have took the easy way out if it was equipped with a GPS and NAV Old buttons like my 373.

Can you believe Gideon Sober failed me on my check ride! Something about you have to follow the approach instructions and altitude on the SAR when you are landing south and not use the landing north instructions for landing south. Man, so tough LOL biggrin

let me say that the ceckride of the 727 was really HARD for me (likely for everyone), take it as just a feedback guys .... but at the end the reward it's really amazing rawk
