Very nice and informative video! 05:00 Since I'm an Activate Leg fan and look for that as the first possibility, I was lucky enough to notice the 172 degrees and to jump to that rather than OBS. Keep up the awesome work. Wayne

Very helpful. And for the CNX-80/GNS 480 users, using the same example, upon receiving the intercept vector, highlight COL in the flight plan and press the DIRECT key. Push (line select key) LSK 5 and then LSK 1 for "CRS TO". Dial in 170 and go! Autosequencing will resume automatically after COL with no further action by the pilot.

Thank you. I have flown with the 480 but not enough to become IFR competent on its operation.

I think what's sometimes confusing is that it's the course TO, not the radial! Lifesaving tricks especially around LA and the VFR routes defined by radials. 👍👏

I think you are right. GPS navigators don't remove the need to understand the difference between radial and course.

Excellent video tips. Easy to understand and practical.

Hey, cool... 08:40 I didn't know about Course To (even after >2000 hours behind a G1000 :-). Thanks! (although now that I reflect, you may have mentioned this in a previous video)

You say you haven't seen an assigned heading from a fix. Departing Vegas we get LAS BLD BLD080 V562 PGS. Heading to intercept a Victor airway. Not easily programmed in GTN

Great comment. I said a from to nowhere. But you are right that a from to an airway intercept is one of those which is difficult to program in a GPS navigator. Possible to create a user waupoint, but It's an example of where I would use VOR or a bearing pointer from a glass PFD, and HDG mode in an autopilot.

Adding this. I took a closer look at that clearance. In the air I'd probably go with a VOR OR pointer. But if that was given on the ground, it actually is easy to enter in the GTN. See my video on entering user waypoints. This one is two cross radials. The BLD 080 and the PGS 290. Try it in your GTN.
