Slick,

You should be able to find your specifics in the POH for the airplane. If
it's the marker beacon that you're hearing, depending on the audio panel in
the airplane, there is probably a mute button for it, or you could
"deselect" the MKR button.

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?
