Flew a sim session with an RMI the other day, and it was the first time I'd flown with one. Dude, it makes DME arcs AND NDB approaches a snap.

RMIs haven't been common in aircraft for a long time now, which I can't understand why, since it's such a useful instrument. But panel's are only so big, and unfortunately, the RMI has been outmoded as a stand-alone instrument. Unless they're combined with an HSI, you'll see few aircraft carrying them these days it seems.

I just wish I could have an HSI!
