Transition BAC

CHAPTER FIVE

T-6A INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION

NOTES

1. The LOC is considered reliable within 18 miles of the

transmitter within 10 or 10 miles within 35 of the course

centerline unless the published approach depicts a transition point

at a farther distance.

2. When flying a BC LOC, the front course must be twisted in

the CDI.

TRANSITION TO BAC

Transition once within 4 NM of the FAF and aircraft heading within 90 of the FAC. Distance

can be determined:

By voice report from ATC.

Use of the GPS needle pointing to the OM / FAF.

DME.

LOC INTERCEPT

At LOC intercept, provide heading inputs directing the IP to maintain course. Heading

increments of 10 or less are normally sufficient to maintain course.

MISSED APPROACH REVIEW

Ask the IP if a review of the missed approach procedure/climb out instructions is required. This

review shall occur after the Before Landing Checklist but prior to the MAP. The review consists

of:

Point:

Point at which to execute the missed approach.

Heading:

First heading to turn.

Altitude:

First climb altitude.

At the FAF, perform the 6 Ts:

TIME. Start the timing to the MAP.

NOTE

If timing is depicted, you should always start the elapsed timer as a

backup in the event of DME and/or glideslope failure.
