22
Q

Procedure Turns Procedure

Terminal

A
  1. Approximately 5 nm prior to the IAF, slow to 150 KIAS. At the IAF, indicated by station passage, execute the Six T’s with one minute outbound timing

  4. At the end of one minute timing, execute a 180° turn in direction opposite of the first turn to the indicated barb heading. Approaching the barb heading, note the head of the bearing pointer: (If the head of the bearing pointer is more than 5° from the inbound course, stop the turn on the heading depicted on the barb. If the head of the needle is less than 5° from the inbound course, continue the turn and roll out with a double-the-angle intercept. If you overshoot the inbound course, turn to establish an appropriate intercept.)
