747 VOR

Guest

The 747 does not have two VOR displays just like the cessena, so how can you know when you pass or reach an intersection that is defined by radials from 2 VOR's. (Forget the GPS - i don't use it yet)

I can figure out intersection/points that are defined by DME on a radail,

Thanks

Wow - If you are identifying Intersections using this method you are pretty advanced in terms of Navigation..... I let the Flight Management Computers use the 2 x VORs to do it for me !

You're basically correct, the default 747 does not allow for Navigation methods to this degree, and I guess the simple answer would be that to navigate to Intersections in this particular plane you'd need to use the GPS.

In most add-on Airliners, you'd have that second VOR so you would be able to ID the Intersection manually in this way.

Isn't there a switch you can flip so that you can toggle between the 2 displays? I thought it was on the bottom of one of the computer screens? 😕

You might be thinking about the GPS or NAV switch. I havn't seen a switch like that.

No, it was the EICAS switch

Is that in the original panel?
