AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

INTERCEPTING A VOR RADIAL

During climb-out, the autopilot continues to ﬂy the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V4 to Salina

VOR (SLN) should now be intercepted. Since the enroute ﬂight plan waypoints correspond to VORs, ﬂight

director Navigation Mode using either VOR or GPS as the navigation source may be used. In this scenario, VOR

Navigation Mode is used for navigation to the ﬁrst VOR waypoint in the ﬂight plan.

Intercepting a VOR radial:

1) Arm VOR Navigation Mode:

a) Tune the VOR frequency.

b) Press the CDI Softkey to set the navigation source to VOR.

c) Use the CRS1 or CRS2 Knob to set the Selected Course to the desired value, 255°. Note that at this point, the

ﬂight director is still in Heading Select Mode and the autopilot continues to ﬂy the Selected Heading, 290°.

d) Press the

NAV

Key. This arms VOR Navigation Mode and the white ‘VOR’ annunciation appears to the left of

the active lateral mode.

2) As the aircraft nears the Selected Course, the ﬂight director transitions from Heading Select to VOR Navigation

Mode and the ‘VOR’ annunciation ﬂashes green. The autopilot begins turning to intercept the Selected

Course.

3) The autopilot continues the turn until the aircraft is established on the Selected Course.
