If you know that you will get this clearance, you would have to creat a user
waypoint using the radial 187 from POM (i.e. V394) and the PDZ 270 radial.
You can title the waypoint "PD270" or something and simply insert it into
your flight plan. The flight plan would then be:

PDZ
PD270
AHEIM

When you create the user waypoint, you will notice that you can leave the
distance field blank and define the waypoint by two different radials. I
tried it on the 430 simulator and it seems to be doing what you hope to
accomplish.

I was wondering how to program this into the 430, and if it is even
possible. Say you are east of a VOR and ATC gives you a vector to
intercept the 270 radial FROM the VOR and track away from the VOR on
that radial and intercept an airway. The clearance went something
like this:

"Glasair 470XX, fly heading 220, intercept and fly the PDZ 270 to
intercept V394."

Since GPS navigation is TO-TO, how could I get the magenta line on the
screen to be on the 270 radial from the VOR? I guess I could put in
the PDZ VOR as a direct waypoint, then use the OBS button on the 430
and the OBS ring on the VOR head rotate the magenta line drawn from my
present postion to the VOR to rotate and align to the 270 radial. I
would have to set the OBS to 090. That would get the line on the
screen, but I would be flying to the VOR not from it.

How can I do this? BTW, there is no published intersect on V394 that
I am intercepting in this clearance, so I cannot select that waypoint
and fly 270 to it.

Maybe ATC should stop giving these types of clearances and just say
"fly heading 270 and intercept V394".
