great video working on my CFII and needed a lil refresher on how this looks in flight on G1000… I probably will be done by the time You release some others but you should do some videos on hold entries as well
Thanks for your kind words! I'm incredibly busy in the real aviation world after some setbacks last year. I'm knee-deep in my new company's linetraining, but I have been slowly working on some scripts for future videos, including holding entries! Hopefully, I can start working on them properly in the next few weeks
Well this is perfect but i have a question. All the tutorial i've seen since now says that you have to follow the "turn 10 twist 10" but i realised that following this method i continuously distance myself from the vor. Because they say you have to first turn 90 and then turn the vor 10 degrees but doing this the radial will not be at 90 degrees with your heading but at 80.
You want to Intercept the next radial at 90°, and depart the radial you're on at 80°. This is why the first turn is not made at 90°. Because doing that will take you away from the VOR. I mention this at 4:49. It's a common mistake during the instrument rating actually. I hope this answers your question!
Don’t make it hard on yourself. Forget the turn 10, twist 10. Many pilots get distracted and pass their inbound course. Cockpit is too busy! Do this. When you arrive at the beginning of the arc, the fix located on a radial at a given DME, let’s say it goes in clockwise direction. We will use the 315 radial at 7 DME. The inbound course is 240. Turn left 90 degrees and establish your distance. The 315 heading will be exactly 90 degrees left on your DG/HSI. Turn your course selector to the inbound course of 240. Let’s say you’re now 7.1 DME. Turn right about 5 degrees and wait. After about 30 seconds, turn right another 5 degrees. Now you at 7 DME and you wait. About 5 more seconds turn right another 5 degrees. If you go to 6.9 DME pause your right turn longer. You are allowed to be a mile plus or minus so .1 or .2 DME either side is acceptable. Now notice where you 240 heading is on the DG/HSI. It is slowly moving toward the right side. Keep repeating until you 240 now close to the 90 point on your DG/HSI. When the CDI is about 2 dots from center, turn right to 240 and you should be very close to being on the inbound course. Once you do this a time or two arc flight will be natural and you won’t get lost or forget to turn inbound. If you have a G-1000 you can let the GOS track the arc and watch what I described with the bearing pointer. Hope that helps.
Thanks! Your maths are correct, no question about that. But I'm not substracting 90 from our intial heading of 220 degrees, but rather adding 90 degrees to the 50 degree radial I intercept. The first turn is never 90 degrees, because that would mean that you intercept the first radial under an 80 degree angle, which means you would spiral away from the DME. I hope this clears things up!
I really needed this..Thanks so much!!
nice video bro!

@@thenewaviator6693thank you so much! I had this problem for a lot 😅

head of cdi is upside down....should be pointing to the final course
why do you use the vor backwards'
220 -90 = 130 and not 140 … anyway good video DUDE !
