V186 from PDZ to VNY with VOR/DME only

[Pieces]

Now we just need to add a 3rd thread to our conversation referenced in every third post . Incidentally, if you want to talk in live capacity I am hanging out on IRC.

But isn't the changeover point at TIFNI telling us that, for V186, we should follow the PDZ278R (until TIFNI) and then immediately switch to the VNY095R to VNY? (and not use DARTS at all, other than as a DME reference)?

Indeed. For the stretch of V186 between TIFNI and VNY it is defined as the VNY 095 radial, and from PDZ to TIFNI the PDZ 278 radial. I used DARTS in the explanation simply because that was the example you used in your previous question:

So then is DARTS to VNY (just 12nm) a heading of 278 or 180+95?

What, and deny the people their right to laugh at my questions?

Seriously though, thanks a bunch for your help. Having this understanding will be invaluable to what will be in my next group fly-out that I am plotting [rubs hands together with an evil grin ].

As much as I'd love to chat about victor airways, pitot tubes, landing gear rivets and $100 hamburgers (which I could do all day long!) I suppose that I really should get back to work
Will catch you soon enough though.

Yes the swastika looking thing is where you'd change to the next VOR. Probably a reception thing, or unusable radials .
EDIT: how come I can never see page two is active ugh
