45-degree outbound radial intercept

T-45C TS INav-05

TACAN/VOR Navigation and Holding Procedures

d. Turn aircraft to the intercept heading

e. Maintain intercept heading until lead point is reached

f. Complete intercept

5. 45-degree outbound radial intercept

a. Tune and identify station

b. Set desired course in course selection window

c. Look from tail of the bearing pointer used to desired

course and 45 degrees beyond to determine

intercept heading

d. Turn aircraft to the intercept heading

e. Maintain intercept heading until lead point is reached

f. Complete intercept

COMMON ERROR: Looking from the desired

course to the tail of the bearing pointer and 45

degrees beyond to determine the intercept heading.

B. TACAN 2.7.7.3.3.1

1. Lead point calculations (LPC)

Fig 1: Lead Point

Identifier

a. Approximately 1 percent of ground speed for a

90-degree intercept

NOTE: When ground speed is not available,

approximate this value using KTAS adjusted for

wind and altitude.

b. Use a reasonable distance lead point for intercepts

of less than 90 degrees
