a320 intercepting radial after takeoff

[sabenaboy]

Come on Mothergoose, is it really necessary to ask such a basic question if you're IFR rated and working on an A320 rating?

I'll answer it anyway assuming that you're looking to get to know how to do it in everyday, routine flying. (not in the sim where the TRI is looking to see what you remember about basic IFR)

There are several methods you could use:
- select the VOR on the RADNAV page, enter the correct course (040 to track outbound, 220 to track inbound to the VOR), select ROSE VOR display on the PFD, pickup a suitable heading to intercept the radial and once on the radial, activate DIR TO the desired waypoint.
- Select the VOR on the RADNAV page, select ARC or NAV on the PFD and use the VOR needle to get on the desired radial, then DIR TO.
- Put the VOR and the radial in the FIX info to have the radial appear on the PFD and steer the correct way to get on it.
