for the basic requirements of flying it using just the raw data from the facilities, how would it be possible unless you were flying along the outbound radial from the beacon?
Commonly known as "point to point" navigation. While it's more easily pictured when you have an RMI or HSI instead of just a CDI, you can sketch it on your note sheet. Reference the NavAid in the center. Plot where you are (radial/DME). Plot where you want to go. Estimate the heading. Refine every few minutes as needed.
It works as well in an A-4 Skyhawk as a C172 Skyhawk!
