- 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…

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…

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.

- 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…

Post Intercept Phase. An interceptor may attempt to establish communications via standard ICAO signals. In time-critical situations where the interceptor is seeking an immediate response from the intercepted aircraft or if the intercepted aircraft remains non-compliant to instruction ... interceptor pilot may initiate a divert maneuver. In this maneuver, the interceptor flies across the intercepted aircraft’s flight path (minimum 500 feet separation and commencing from slightly below the intercepted aircraft altitude) in the general direction the intercepted aircraft…
