INTERCEPTING A VOR RADIAL
During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode.
Airway V4 to Salina VOR (SLN) should now be intercepted. Since the enroute flight
plan waypoints correspond to VORs, flight director Navigation Mode using either VOR
or GPS as the navigation source may be used. In this scenario, VOR Navigation Mode
is used for navigation to the first VOR waypoint in the flight plan.
