INTRODUCTION TO RADIO
NOTE: Use this procedure to fly from one TACAN
INSTRUMENTS
fix to another via a direct track. If ATC clears you
* SID procedures
direct to the fix, you may be radar-vectored or
* Radial intercept procedures
required to use point-to-point navigation.
* Indications of station passage
A.
Tune and identify the station and select desired
* TACAN/VOR DME arc
steering
procedures
* Voice procedures
B.
Visualize HSI compass card as compass rose
* Ground speed computation
with station at center
procedures
* Wind drift correction
C.
Picture fix having greater distance from station
procedures
on its radial at outside edge of HSI compass
* Pt-to-Pt procedures
card, disregard HSI scale
* Direct to a NAVAID
* VOR-TACAN/VOR DME
D.
Visualize fix with lesser distance (determined
holding procedures
from previous step) at a proportional distance
from center of HSI on its radial
Sg 8, fr 3, p1
NOTE: The aircraft is always positioned on the
tail side of the navigation pointer. Where
depends on the distance of the aircraft from the
station when compared to the distance of the pt-
to-pt fix relative to the station.
E.
Connect two fixes with imaginary line or with aid
of straight edge
POINT-TO-POINT NAVIGATION
PROCEDURE
F.
"Move" line to center of HSI, paralleling original
imaginary line and read the course to the fix off
the compass rose
G. Turn to new course (plus wind correction if
known); top of imaginary line where it crosses
compass rose
