i have recently just about 'mastered' vor to vor navigation and was about to take the Moss company learjet for a spin when all of a sudden, my flight plan mentions 'intersections'.

I cannot find out any frequency information for these so have no idea how to navigate too them other than matching up a radial from its previous VOR and flying that heading, then - without using any sort of DME - knowing i am over or near the intersection, and making my turn on to the new heading.

This only seems to be a problem when choosing low or high altitude airways, as direct vor to vor doesnt include them.

Any help appreciated, im sure this is something really basic!
 
An intersection is just a name applied to a set of coordinates, as you say, it has no frequency, the only way to go to an intersection is by using GPS/FMS/INS Navigation
