What VOR do you use to intercept a VOR?
The radio navigation VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) used is KARLSRUHE KRH 115.95 MHz The target is to intercept radial 330° outbound of KRH VOR (radial is the track coloured in pink and Pay attention that the aircraft must have an interception heading with the radial.
How do you intercept a radial plane?
If the aircraft turns clockwise (to the right), just add 30° to the course, or if the aircraft turns anti-clockwise (to the left) just remove 30° of the wanted heading Now, you start the turn to intercept the radial smoother using 30° interception angle. The radial is far from interception if we maintain the heading at course value (330°)
How do you fly a radial on a VOR?
Fly the intercept—Unless you are close to the desired radial or the VOR itself, it’s best to use a 45-degree intercept angle. Many heading indicators have small tick marks 45 degrees from straight up for this purpose. Simply put your desired radial on that 45-degree mark for the turn.
How do I change the radial of intercept in OBS?
Start on a known radial—Make sure the course deviation indicator is centered and showing either to or from the station correctly. 2. Select the desired radial— Turn the omni-bearing selector (OBS) to the desired radial of intercept.

What is a radial on a VOR?
A magnetic bearing extending from a VOR/VORTAC/TACAN. ( Source: UK CAA) Bearing. The horizontal direction to or from any point, usually measured clockwise from true north, magnetic north, or some other reference point through 360 degrees. (
How do you enter the VOR approach?

Upon reaching the vor follow the procedure for both lateral.
How do you do a teardrop entry?
The teardrop entry involves flying through the fix, turning to a heading of inbound course plus 150 degrees (or outbound heading minus 30 degrees), flying straight for one minute, then executing a turn in the same direction as the hold and intercepting the inbound holding course.

How to find the radial of intercept?
Start on a known radial—Make sure the course deviation indicator is centered and showing either to or from the station correctly. 2. Select the desired radial— Turn the omni-bearing selector (OBS) to the desired radial of intercept.
What angle to fly the intercept?
Fly the intercept—Unless you are close to the desired radial or the VOR itself, it’s best to use a 45-degree intercept angle. Many heading indicators have small tick marks 45 degrees from straight up for this purpose. Simply put your desired radial on that 45-degree mark for the turn.
What does a radial emanate out of?
Radials emanate out from the station. If you are flying away from the station, you are tracking and flying on the same radial. But if you are flying to the station and tracking the radial on the opposite side, look to the bottom of the heading indicator for the radial you are actually on.
When you are at interception heading, you will intercept again the radial but with a lower angle?
When you are at interception heading, you will intercept again the radial but with a lower angle: As you are on the interception angle, you must see that the needle is going to the centre of the HSI. When the needle of HSI is just near to the centre, it is time to turn the aircraft onto the radial. Turn to heading.
What frequency do you use for VOR?
Tune navigation instrument using the VOR frequency 115.95 MHz 2. Set course (CRS) to 330° (wanted radial)
How to find the radial of an airway?
1. Fly the direction of the desired radial. You can find the direction of an airway on either a VFR or IFR chart. Set the radial's direction into the OBS and turn the aircraft to fly that heading. Once established on the heading, note the position of the CDI. If it is to the right, your radial is to the right.
What to do if needle starts drifting left?
If the needle starts drifting left, turn left to get back on course. Tracking inbound (towards the station) and outbound (away from the station) radials is exactly the same, except you should get a TO indication when flying inbound and a FROM indication when flying outbound on a radial.
Three ways to intercept a VOR radial
This forum has been developed to discuss flight instruction/University and College programs.
Three ways to intercept a VOR radial
1. Tune the radial, turn the aircraft to head parallel to it, then use the needle as a fly left/right indicator to know which way to turn.
rt4388 Pre-takeoff checklist
So I just started instrument training with a new instructor (different from PPL) and we were attempting to intercept a radial for a VOR. The instructor was using some method I had never heard of before and I can't seem to remember how it worked.

midlifeflyer Touchdown! Greaser!
I'm not sure but I can sort of envision something like that for intercepting the 100 degree radial. Turn to 100 to parallel the radial and then 30 degrees to intercept. Best bet is to ask your CFII to explain it on the ground.
sourdough44 Pattern Altitude
Lead by 1% of GS? The '5 T's' over the VOR? Turn, Time, Twist, Transition, Talk?? Where are we intercepting this radial at? The station or 30 miles out? What is the intercept angle? Don't forget about the wind.
labbadabba Pattern Altitude
Never heard of that and it sounds needlessly complicated. You already know your eventual heading just by looking at the top of the CDI needle on the VOR head. Fly a 30 degree intercept from there.

Talk about things with the instructor on the ground. Have him draw a picture. Maybe even with circles and arrows and a paragraph explanation. Inside a cockpit is a terrible classroom.
