Calculating the lead point to turn from a radial on to an arc.
- 5 x GS = lead point DME
ex) .5 x 200 = 1 DME
Determining the lead radial for an arc to radial intercept.

finally
DME x Radials Per Mile = Turn point in radials.

Procedure Turn Approach
An approach designed to time outbound and include a turn (denoted by a barb on the approach plate) which will set the aircraft back on the final approach course while insuring the “Remain Within” distance is observed.
Teardrop Approach
An approach using an outbound to inbound radial intercept technique to turn the aircraft back around onto its final approach course. “Remain Within” distance is observed.
Arcing Approach
Aircraft establishes itself on an arc and executes an arc to radial intercept in order to set up on the final approach course.
SID use on a DD-175
Encouraged but not required.
Calculating Groundspeed
# of miles x 60 (if timed for 1 minute) # of miles x 30 (if timed for 2 minutes) # of miles x 20 (if timed for 3 minutes)
