Why can't you just navigate to the intersection with two VORs? Isn't that taught? There's the concept of "positive course guidance". As far as I know it's not codified anywhere, it's just recognized by some as good practice. I asked the same questions, in this same forum, a long time ago, and I came away from that encounter convinced that positive course guidance is a good thing. I now file flight plans that use only positive course guidance. In other words, the initial fix on my route is a ground based navaid of some kind. If I had a certified GPS, I would have no heartburn about using some random intersection as an initial fix. Dave Remove SHIRT to reply directly.
