 Garmin 430 question
Steve,
I'm probably stating the obvious here, but I think the magenta line is "to"
and the white line is "from". I often use the OBS for vfr approach,
especially going to a new field. So if the rwy is 27 and assuming i'm
generally east of the airport, I set the obs to 27
and intercept the magenta line (now i'm on the 27 radial to the field --
and the 90 radial from the field)
Maybe this helps.
