1. Vectors to Intercept a
Radial
After takeoff from Kansas
City, we select a heading of
060° with the heading bug to
intercept the 110° course to
Napoleon (ANX) VOR.
Selected course pointer is set
on 110° with the course knob.
The KI 525A HSI conveniently
and accurately displays the
intercept angle. 2.
The VOR deviation bar begins
to center as we approach the
110° course to Napoleon. The
KI 525A HSI makes it possi-
ble to intercept the course
smoothly, without overshoot-
ing or bracketing. One
method of doing this is to
adjust your heading so that
the top of the deviation bar
always touches the lubber
line. As your aircraft heading
approaches the new course,
the deviation bar will swing
towards the center and the
angle of intercept will
decrease.

3. Turn to Intercept a Victor
Airway
The “TO” indicator starts to
swing to “FROM” as you fly over
the Napoleon VORTAC station. At
this time, set the selected course
pointer on the V-12 course of
088°.
As you begin your left turn to
track V-12, notice that the
KI525A HSI continuously dis-
plays an accurate picture of the
relationship between your aircraft
and the ANX 088 radial.
Once again, you can make a pre-
cise, coordinated course inter-
ception by adjusting your head-
ing to keep the top of the
deviation bar touching the lub-
ber line. 4.
When the deviation bar is
centered and aligned with the
course arrow, you are on
course. Notice that correction
for wind drift - in this case, a
080° heading on a 088°
course - is completely auto-
matic as long as you keep the
deviation bar centered. 5.
About midway between
Napoleon and Columbia
(CBI), you switch to the CBI
VOR and the TO/FROM indi-
cator immediately swings to
“TO”. Also note the course
arrow should be moved from
088° to 090° which is the
V-12 inbound course to CBI.

Flight Procedures
with the KCS 55A
The next few
pages depict a normal
flight departure from
MKC enroute to STL
via Victor Airway V-12.
(The charts shown here
are for illustration pur-
poses only, not to be
used for navigation.)
Careful study of these
illustration of the
KI525A HSI should
give you a better idea
of how simple and
comprehensive the dis-
play is.
