Course Intercept Immediately After Station Passage
First, tune and identify the station if you have not already done so. When station passage occurs, turn
parallel to your desired course and then dial it in on the course select window. Now look from the tail of
the bearing pointer used to the desired course and an equal number of degrees beyond, but not more than
45 degrees, to determine the intercept heading. Turn to and maintain the intercept heading until you
reach the lead point and then turn to intercept the desired course (Figure 20). You look from the tail of the
bearing pointer to the desired course.
