FLying OBS course without additional VOR radio?
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2020 1:18 am
I have a Sport EX coupled to an autopilot. I do not have a VOR nav radio or IFR navigator that is coupled to the Sport EX. I can set a VOR as a destination and fly directly to it but am wondering if I can set a course to fly to that same VOR via a particular radial and also if I can set things up so that I can fly outbound from a VOR on a particular radial? For example let's say I wanted to fly direct to a VOR (easy by just setting up the VOR as a destination) and once I reach the VOR, let's say I wanted to fly outbound on a particular radial. How would I set that up on the GPS navigation planning? I could kind of do that just finding another destination beyond the VOR that happened to be on the wanted radial but would rather just dial in a particular radial and then intercept that radial and fly outbound. Obviously once out bond on the radial, I could use "heading" as my auto pilot source but intercepting that particular radial is not as easy. Any thoughts? Hope my explanation was clear enough.
