If you know that you will get this clearance, you would have to creat
a user waypoint using the radial 187 from POM (i.e. V394) and the PDZ
270 radial. You can title the waypoint "PD270" or something and
simply insert it into your flight plan. The flight plan would then be:

PDZ
PD270
AHEIM

When you create the user waypoint, you will notice that you can leave
the distance field blank and define the waypoint by two different
radials. I tried it on the 430 simulator and it seems to be doing
what you hope to accomplish.

Would you explain how you creat a user waypoint using two radials as
opposed to a radial and distance?

I have a 530W but expect the 430 would do the same. On Page 135 of the
manual it says you can do what Marco says. There is a line for Ref Wpt,
RADial and DIS. Leave distance blank

Next line allows entry of another waypoint (e.g. vor) with blank for
Radial.

Works fine.

Have you actually tried this with your 530W?

It does not work in the 530 trainer.
