VOR/DME nearby. Altitude Some DMEs correct for slant-range error. Function of DME A DME is used for determining the distance from a ground DME transmitter. Compared to other VHF/UHF NAVAIDs, a DME is very accurate. The distance information ... used to determine the aircraft position or flying a track that is a constant distance from the station. This is referred to as a DME arc. DME Arc There are many instrument approach procedures (IAPs) that incorporate DME arcs…

Suitable Area Navigation (RNAV) Systems on Conventional Procedures and Routes a. Discussion. This paragraph sets forth policy, while providing operational and airworthiness guidance regarding the suitability and use of RNAV systems when operating on, or transitioning to, conventional, non-RNAV ... routes and procedures within the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS): 1.

- Chapter 16: Navigation › Ground-Based Navigation › Angle of Intercept
Rate of Intercept Rate of intercept, seen by the aviator as bearing pointer or HSI movement, is a result of the following factors: • The angle at which the aircraft is flown toward a desired course (angle of intercept) • True ... airspeed and wind (GS) • Distance from the station Angle of Intercept The angle of intercept is the angle between the heading of the aircraft (intercept heading) and the desired course. Controlling this angle by selection/adjustment of the intercept heading…
- Chapter 9: Navigation Systems › Traditional Navigation Systems › Intercepting Lead Radials
Intercepting Lead Radials A lead radial is the radial at which the turn from the arc to the inbound course is started. When intercepting a radial from a DME arc, the lead varies with arc radius and groundspeed ... average general aviation aircraft, flying arcs such as those depicted on most approach charts at speeds of 150 knots or less, the lead is under 5°. There is no difference between intercepting a radial from an arc and intercepting…

magnetic course of the desired radial is entered under the index using the OBS and the intercept heading held until the CDI centers. Then the procedure for tracking to the station is used to fly outbound on the specified ... radial. Course Interception If the desired course is not the one being flown, first orient the aircraft’s position with respect to the VOR station and the course to be flown, and then establish an intercept heading…
