All right, this makes sense to me. But as someone who is still a student,
I
have to ask a question here. Let's say that I'm planning to fly along a
specific VOR radial, and that this radial is not part of an airway. What
I
normally do is draw a line on the chart, and then read the radial on this
compass rose. But without the compass rose, how am I supposed to
determine
the radial that I need to follow? Most of the VORs in this area have not
been adjusted to keep pace with magnetic variation, and are therefore a
few
degrees off from both both the true course and the magnetic course.


Any airways at all from this VOR? Use your protractor to measure the angle
between the radial defining the charted airway and the line you just drew.
