T-45C TS, ADV, & IUT RIFP-02
TACAN and VOR Procedures
COMMON ERROR: Making too small a correction
to return to the desired radial.
COMMON ERROR: Not applying a correction into
the wind to slow and/or stop drift when first detected
to minimize drift from course.
VII. TACAN/VOR DME point-to-point navigation 2.7.5.1.3.1
NOTE: Use this procedure to fly from one TACAN fix to
another via a direct track. If ATC clears you direct to the fix,
you may be radar-vectored or required to use point-to-point
navigation.
A.
Tune and ID the station
B.
Visualize HSI compass card as compass rose with
station at center
C.
Picture fix having greater distance from station on its
radial atop the HSI compass card
D.
Visualize fix with lesser distance (determined from pre-
vious step) at a proportional distance from center of HSI
on its radial
NOTE: The aircraft is always positioned on the tail side
of the applicable navigation pointer. Where it is
positioned, depends on the distance of the aircraft from
the station when compared to the distance of the point-
to-point fix relative to the station.
E.
Connect the two fixes with imaginary line or with aid of
straight edge
F.
Move the imaginary line to center of HSI, paralleling
original line and read the course to the fix on the
compass card corresponding with the direction of
intended flight
G. Turn to new course and apply an appropriate drift
correction
