RADIAL TO ARC INTERCEPT PROCEDURE
B.
Arcing - chord method
NOTE: The chord method is usually used when the aircraft is more
than 12 miles DME from the station.
1.
Tune and identify station
2.
Determine direction to turn
3.
Determine desired lead point
4.
Initiate turn when DME equals radius of arc plus or minus
desired lead using a 1/2 SRT AOB
5.
Monitor No. 2 bearing pointer and DME to determine roll-out
6.
Position aircraft so that head of No. 2 bearing pointer is
between 5 and 10 degrees ahead of wingtip position
7.
Fly straight short legs allowing head of No. 2 bearing pointer to
reposition between 5 and 10 degrees behind wingtip position
8.
Turn aircraft to reposition the head of No. 2 bearing pointer from
behind to between 5 and 10 degrees ahead of wingtip position
