Intercepting a Radial GNS430

Some tips and tricks when using the Garmin 430 for IFR navigation

Thank you for making this video. I actually needed this for an upcoming check ride and didn't realize how this worked until now.

Another way is to push the OBS button and select the 055 course. This will display an overlay of the radial. Once you intercept the course, deselect OBS mode and activate direct to EMI.

Great video! Thank you. Why does the DTK change to 057 degrees instead of showing 055 degrees when you go bag to the map page?

*VOR radials and GPS courses are sometimes off by a few degrees.* This can be seen on approaches, for instance the HHR 25 LOC and RNAV (GPS) 25 approaches. The LOC approach leg from SLI to WELLZ is 340. The same leg on the GPS approach is 341. It's just the GPS Ghosts! 😱

Any reason to hit Direct To the VOR after you intercept the radial, or since it's a part of the flight plan the AP should follow the route? Or if no AP it should still sequence normally when you get to the VOR?

If the course TO is magenta, automatic sequencing should continue. The next leg would be white and become magenta once it's activated.
