INTERCEPTING A VOR
During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V107 to Panoche
VORTAC (PXN) should now be intercepted.
Intercepting a VOR:
1) Tune the VOR frequency and activate Navigation Mode.
a) Use the CDI Softkey to set the HSI navigation source to VOR.
b) Use the CRS Knob to set the Selected Course to 116°. Note that at this point, the flight director is still in
Heading Select Mode and the autopilot continues to fly 070°.
c) Press the NAV Key to arm Navigation Mode. The white annunciation 'VOR' appears as the armed roll mode.
2) When the CDI shows less than one dot, the flight director changes from Heading Select to Navigation Mode,
and the green annunciation 'VOR' flashes. The autopilot begins turning to intercept the Selected Course.
3) The autopilot continues the turn until the aircraft is established on the Selected Course.
