GNS430 on the Airway
Hello,
I was on the ground at an uncontrolled field. I got a clearance to "On departure fly runway heading Radar Vectors xyz VOR Victor xxx abc VOR" Before leaving, I programmed the entire route into the GNS430. Since it doesn't have airways, I "synthesized" them by just putting in the VORs and intersections. On departure, ATC gave me kind instructions to skip the xyz VOR. Instead, they vectored me directly onto Victor xxx. The 430 kept the leg "airport to xyz VOR" active, and did not give me any guidance except for the moving map to show when I was established on the airway. So I waited until the little airplane was over the white line, then went to the flight plan page and said "Direct-to" the next point on the plan. I also had the second VOR receiver tuned and twisted. The '430 gave me guidance from exactly where I was - when I pushed the Direct-to and hit Enter. Was I on the airway? Maybe a bit off, hard to tell. The VOR receiver and ATC were both happy. Is there a way to change the active leg in the flight plan, so it gives guidance "from the waypoint that you skipped to the next waypoint" rather than "from where you were when you pressed the button to the next waypoint"? - Jerry Kaidor ( ) |
