TACAN/VOR Navigation and Holding Procedures

PRESENTATION

I. Navigation procedures

A. VOR/TACAN intercepts 2.7.7.3.3.2, 2.7.7.3.3.1

NOTE: The following intercept procedures apply to either

the VOR, TACAN, or WYPT, whichever is selected.

1. Proceeding direct to station (inbound radial)

a. Tune and identify station

b. Turn aircraft in shortest direction to place head of

bearing pointer under HSI lubber line (heading

index)

c. Center the CDI

d. Note wind drift, if any (ground track marker)

e. Crab as necessary to keep CDI centered

COMMON ERROR: Not correcting for wind drift and

homing instead of proceeding direct to the station.

2. 30-degree inbound radial intercept

a. Tune and identify station

b. Set desired course in course selection window

c. Look from desired course to head of the bearing

pointer used and 30 degrees beyond to determine

intercept heading

d. Turn aircraft to the intercept heading

e. Maintain intercept heading until lead point is reached
