When would you use reciprocals for radial in MCDU? (320)
Just very confused with this.
If the ATC told you to track into XYZ VOR 180 inbound / or outbound, you would just go on direct to, type in the VOR in the scratchpad, insert the 180 radial the way you've been given, either inbound or outbound, and that's it?
If you were told to fly the 180 Radial from XYZ VOR and fly outbound for 30 miles.
In this case you would go onto rad nav page, hard tune the VOR(if it isn't already tuned), type in 180 radial outbound, and you can intercept that raw data?
When would you use the reciprocal of your radial?
I was reading somewhere if you wanted to create a line when doing a VOR approach, you would use the reciprocal, but not sure, just looking to get rid of this confusion.
Thanks in advance.
