Course Intercept Steps (memorize)
1.Tune, Identify, Monitor
2. Set the course
3. For inbound course intercepts check for a ‘To’ indication.
4. Turn in the shorter direction.
5. Continue the turn to place the Course Arrow in the top half of the HSI.
6. Roll out on an intercept heading.
7. Bug your heading (optional)
For inbound intercepts:
CB + 30 not to exceed 90 degrees
Course arrow to bearing (VOR) pointer + 30 degrees
For outbound intercepts:
TC + 45
Up to 45 with your heading not going past the VOR bearing pointer.
The control and performance concept
Establish, Trim, Cross-Check, Adjust

Bearing pointer 3 Rules
- Bearing pointer head falls.
- Bearing pointer tail rises.
- Our radial is on the bearing pointer tail.
EHSI Orientation Steps
- Where is Bearing Pointer tail?
- Visualize the quadrant the quadrant you’rein.
- Determine heading.
60 to 1 rule
60 / DME = # of radials per NM
Turn Radius equation
TR = (TAS/60) - 2
Speed in NM/min
= Knots/60
Pitch change
= Alt to loose/Available distance
Vertical speed
Speed in (NM/min) x Pitch change x 10
Approx TAS
MSL FL Alt / 2 + IAS
Descent Gradient
Alt to loose / distance to loose it
Turn Radius/range
= (Grd Spd)/60 - 2
Or
= Mach - 2
