AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
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) Arm VOR Navigation Mode.
a) Tune the VOR frequency.
b) Press the CDI Softkey to set the navigation source to VOR.
c) 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°.
d) Press the NAV Key to arm VOR 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 VOR 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.
