July 2, 200421 yr I know about the capability of using the MAP display on the ND to indicate the to/from bearings of the VOR selected as VOR1, and how you can change the bearings with the Course control in the MCP.What I would like to know, is there a way to assign the to/from bearings of the VOR selected as VOR2 and change the bearings.What I trying to do is locate a point on a chart using two VOR bearings.Any suggestions would be appreciated.George
July 2, 200421 yr Commercial Member Just create a custom waypoint in the FMC if you're trying to find the intersection of two VOR radials.The format is like this:TUS318/PHX307See pages 8-31 and 8-32 of the FMC manual for more info...

July 3, 200421 yr Thanks Ryan, I know how to do that, I was wanting to know if there was a way to do it using the two VOR indicated on the ND.George
July 3, 200421 yr Use the FIX page, type the name of the VOR 2 identifier, and the radial. Will make a similar line on the ND as the VOR 1 course.Just a suggestion :)
July 3, 200421 yr Thanks Niklas,That is what I was trying to do. I was hoping that both VOR radials could be controlled like we used to do it, but this is a very nice solution when that isn't available.Have a good one.Regards,George
July 4, 200421 yr Hi George! try this.Tune nav 1 and dial in the required radial.Then tune nav 2 to the required frequency for the second station.Set efis ND to MAP mode or VOR mode and set nav 2 bearing pointer switch on efis panel to VOR 2.You will get an arrow pointer pointing at nav 2 station.The needle is pointing at the radial TO the station.The tail of the pointer points at the radial from the station.Just fly along the nav 1 radial until the pointer points at the desired radial!Could also use it to identify an NDB bearing.Works just like an RMI.
