I was getting vector-to-final, when the controller cleared me direct to ONEME. Of course, I had no idea where that was. I just kept on the vector until on the ibound course, hoping it would intercept before ONEME - guess it did, since no one said anything.<br /><br />Do you get Tom Turner's weekly email? He had a good discussion recently about the "button of death" on the 430/530 - the OBS button to select VLOC on an ILS approach. Not uncommon to forget.D.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16311812701887962320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19353992.post-37949167770655226302013-03-14T20:41:15.590-05:002013-03-14T20:41:15.590-05:00Chris, looking forward to a PIREP on the King cou...Chris, looking forward to a PIREP on the King course.

At the recommendation of another pilot, I've been doing a King course on the 430/530 complete with exercises on the software trainer. It's been eye opening!<br /><br />Thanks for posting, Gary. Love the title.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.com
