BASIC INTERCEPTION PROCEDURAL TURN

1. Determine LOP (Line of Position – e.g. 1. Determine LOP

“inbound/outbound radial 140°”)
2. Determine DESIRED RADIAL
3. Twist OBS to proper setting
Course
2. Twist OBS to proper setting
Heading Inbound (TO Indication) – Twist Opposite
(FROM Indication)
Course & Radial

Inbound Outbound Heading Outbound (FROM Indication) – Twist

Radial Opposite (TO Indication)
4. Determine Procedure: BASIC INTERCEPTION
5. Determine Interception Angle
(Desired Radial – LOP) x 2 3. Determine turn: Left or Right
Inbound: 30, 60, 90 (Twist HDG BUG 45° to the L/R)
Outbound: 30, 45, 60 4. Turn: 5 Ts (Timer STBY)
6. Determine Interception HDG 5. On the HDG: Timer starts for 45 seconds
INT HDG +/- DES CRS to ref. CDI At 30 secs: Twist HDG BUG to INT HDG
7. Twist HDG BUG to Interception HDG (Reciprocal)
8. Turn to Desired Course 6. 45 seconds: Initiate Turn (5 Ts)
Note: Anticipate CDI Movement 7. Apply Basic Interception

BOXING INTERCEPTION (Note: If first turn is left, following turns is to the

right; vice versa)
1. Determine LOP
2. Determine DESIRED RADIAL DME ARC
3. Twist OBS to proper setting 1. Determine LOP
Course Course & Radial
2. Determine the Radial to Intercept
Inbound Outbound 3. LEAD DME: 1% x A/S
Radial
4. Twist OBS: 10° from current LOP (w/o RMI)
(Note: Check Flag Indication) (with RMI: Twist to desired radial and follow the
RMI)
4. Determine Procedure: BOXING INTERCEPTION 5. Twist HDG BUG (80° outbound or 100° inbound)
5. Twist HDG BUG parallel to DES RAD from CRS
6. Fly Parallel to the DES RAD 6. At Lead DME, Turn
(5 Ts: TURN, TIME, TWIST, THROTTLE, TALK) 7. Check DME if within limits
7. Abeam the Fix, CHANGE OF FLAG 8. CDI centers, twist OBS 10° towards the desired
radial (w/o RMI)
Inbound Timer Starts for 2 minutes, after 2 minutes
proceed with Basic Interception 9. Twist HDG 10° and turn (w/o RMI)
Outbound Proceed with Basic Interception 10. Repeat steps 7-9
11. Intercept Desired Radial 10° before
Note: Use maximum interception heading
(90° for inbound, 60° for outbound)
