is the lead point for a left turn to intercept the 25 NM arc? |
In this case you would use 1% of your groundspeed to determine the turn radius for the 90°
turn. You would, therefore, need to start your turn 1.8 NM before reaching 25 NM, or at the 26.8 DME. |
|
How do you intercept a radial from an arc?
|
a. Lead point in radials = (NM)*(60/ARC DME)
b. Begin your turn when you are this number of radials from the desired radial. |
|
You are arcing left on the 15 NM arc. Your groundspeed is 200 knots. What is the lead radial for a
turn to intercept the 045° radial outbound? |
At 200 knots groundspeed, your turn radius is approximately 2 NM. At 15 NM DME your
ground track equals 4° per NM. A two mile lead point would therefore cover 8 radials, and you should start your turn at the 053° radial. |
