Q

Determining the lead radial for an arc to radial intercept.

A

60/ARC DME = Radials per Mile

then

.5 x GS = DME
(1 may be substituted for .5 if a half standard rate turn is required)

finally

DME x Radials Per Mile = Turn point in radials.

Procedure Turn Approach

A

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.
