TACAN and VOR Procedures
T-45C TS, ADV, & IUT RIFP-02
H. Periodically, update course calculation and make heading/
drift corrections when needed
COMMON ERROR: Not placing new line exactly parallel to
original line.
COMMON ERROR: Not applying wind drift correction to
initial heading to the point-to-point fix.
COMMON ERROR: Not rechecking the course as
approaching the destination fix, and making required
corrections.
VIII. Proceeding direct to a station 2.7.6.6.1
NOTE: ATC occasionally amends a clearance, or you can
request direct routing from ATC.
A. Tune and identify station
B. Turn in shortest direction to place the subject bearing
pointer atop the ground track marker. This neutralized
wind drift
C. Using CRS increment/decrement push-buttons, set the
inbound CRS that centers the CDI
D. Keep the bearing pointer aligned with the ground track
marker. Wind direction and speed may vary,
necessitating heading changes
COMMON ERROR: Homing to the station instead of
proceeding direct on a set course. Under significant
cross-wind conditions, homing will result in a curved
ground track approach.
