INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION

SUMMARY

In this unit of instruction, you have been taught the procedures to be used when flying an arc.

You have learned that when intercepting an arc from a radial, you must lead the turn by a

distance equal to % of your ground speed. You must convert that distance to radials to

determine your lead point for exiting the arc. You have also learned how to fly an arc by

applying heading corrections to maintain a relative bearing of 90 or 270 to the selected

TACAN. Wind and degrees to turn play an important factor in transitioning to, maintaining, and

exiting arcs. These factors must be considered on all your instrument flights.
