Intercepting a VOR
After climbout, the Autopilot continues to fly the aircraft
on a heading of 070 degrees at an altitude of 7,000 feet.
The pilot now wishes to intercept airway V107 to Panoche
VORTAC (PXN).
To Intercept a VOR:
1. The pilot tunes the VOR frequency, then sets
the HSI mode to VOR, using the
CDI softkey.
Selected Course is then set to 116 degrees
using the
CRS knob. Note that at this point,
the Flight Director is still in Heading mode and
the Autopilot continues to fly 070 degrees.
The pilot presses the
NAV key. This arms the
Navigation mode and the white annunciation
‘VOR’ appears to the left of the active pitch
mode.

2. At a predetermined point, the Flight Director
changes from Heading mode to Navigation
mode, and the green annunciation ‘VOR’
flashes. The Autopilot begins turning to inter-
cept the Selected Course.
3. The Autopilot continues the turn until the
aircraft is established on the Selected Course.
NOTE: Changing the HSI mode cancels the
Navigation mode and causes the Flight Director
to revert back to the default roll (ROL) mode.
