Don’t know if these are “proper,” or the best answers, but while flying assigned heading Here are a few suggestions from a three dimensionally challenged biologist. What’s the “proper” way to do this without relying on the VOR? I want to fly my current track, intercept a radial several miles from the VOR, join it, and track outbound to a distant waypoint. In this particular case, if I were to proceed direct to the next WPT (GILRO), it would be a significantly different course than the join. Other folks just tune in the VOR and do it the old fashioned way. The common “proper” answer to doing this in the GNS430 is to figure out why you were given the radial, and just plug in the destination waypoint instead. Often we are given a radar-vector south-east, followed by “join the Salinas (SNS) 347 radial, resume own navigation” (which would send us to GILRO, but they often vector us NW before we get to GILRO) to short-cut going all the way down to Salinas. Off my quickly fading 430 skills and after doing most of the excercises on his list, I remembered a real-life problem that both Dave Katz and I have experienced on several occasions.įlying from Wattsonville to San Jose, one usually takes an “L” shaped course to avoid some high mountains immediately north of WVI on the direct course. I decided to take Derek’s GNS430 simulator test (see earlier messages from him) to dust
