- 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 ... 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 is the easiest…

otherwise instructed by air traffic control. NOTE-If instruction received from any agency conflicts with that given by the intercepting aircraft through visual or radio communications, the intercepted aircraft must seek immediate clarification. 4. The crew of the intercepted aircraft ... must continue to comply with interceptor aircraft signals and instructions until positively released. 5-6-14. Interception Signals TBL 5-6-1 and TBL 5-6-2.

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. The following steps…

intercepted pilot should expect the interceptor helicopter to take a position off his left wing slightly forward of abeam. 3. Post Intercept Phase. Visual signaling devices may be used in an attempt to communicate with the intercepted aircraft. Visual signaling ... blue flashing lights. If compliance is not attained through the use of radios or signaling devices, standard ICAO intercept signals (TBL 5-6-1) may be employed. In order to maintain safe aircraft separation, it is incumbent upon the pilot…
- 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 ... 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 it from a straight course. With an RMI, the rate of bearing movement…
