Introduction to Radio Instruments
C.
Arcing - angle-of-bank method
NOTE: The angle-of-bank method is usually
used when the aircraft is within 12 DME of the
station. Although each method has been
identified according to DME limits, you can use
either anytime.
1.
Tune and identify station and select TACAN
steering
2.
Determine direction to turn
3.
Determine desired lead point (refer to Lead
Point Calculation)
4.
Initiate turn when DME equals radius of arc
plus or minus desired lead
5.
Established on the arc, adjust angle of bank
(AOB) to maintain proper distance and keep
the bearing pointer on HSI 90-degree
benchmark (wingtip)
NOTE: Adjustments to the position of the
head of the bearing pointer will have to be
made relative to the 90-degree benchmark
to compensate for the position of the wind
relative to the position of the aircraft on the
arc.
