2.Press IDENT and listen for L·I·V in Morse code (·–·· ·· ···–).
3.Test the CDI: rotate OBS 10° left and 10° right and watch the needle move.
4.ATC assigned the 091° radial. Set OBS to 271° (inbound course).OBS is set to the course you want to fly, not the radial itself. Flying inbound to the station means the reciprocal of the assigned radial — 091° + 180° = 271°. That puts the CDI into TO mode and centers it once you're established on that inbound course.
5.Turn to an intercept heading about 30–45° off 271° using the heading bug.A 30–45° cut into the inbound course gives you enough angle to close on the radial without overshooting. Any less and you'll drift for miles; any more and the CDI will slam past centre before you can turn.
6.As the CDI needle comes alive, turn to keep it centered inbound (TO).
7.Hold the needle within 2 dots for 10 seconds to complete the intercept.
