The results of numerical MHD models are used to compute apparent field configurations and theoretical radio maps of extragalactic jets. We find that the apparent field structure of weak (FR I) radio sources is readily explained by the projection of the true field configuration onto a plane perpendicular to the line of sight. Furtheron it is demonstrated that it is unlikely that the X-like shock structures, which are found in almost any numerical simulation of supersonic jets, produce the prominent knots observed in the jets of edge-darkened extragalactic radio sources.
