BOEING 707-320 - Inertial Navigation System

Introduction

The INS unit is on the forward-centre panel. To display this panel in FS2000/FS2002, click "INS/ADF PANEL" on the Captain or First Officer main panel, or press SHIFT + 4. This panel also includes the ADF and transponder.

This unit is typical of the waypoint navigation systems in use in the 60s and 70s. The system can store up to 25 waypoints. Initially, waypoints for outward and return London-New York flights are set up. The 707 certainly doesn't have a moving map display, so you'll probably want to get some maps to assist your navigation!
