Radial Inbound Interception using VOR Tracker - Get a grip on VOR and NDB navigation!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2016
- VOR and NDB navigation is one of the main challenges for pilots during their flight training. Radial interceptions, QDM interceptions, and holding pattern entries can be very confusing, and learning by doing is the key.
This video demonstrates a 180°/90°/45° radial inbound interception using the VOR Tracker app.
Key points:
For inbound radial interceptions, do not forget to set the RECIPROCAL course!
What type of interception method?
Up to 20° difference: 45°
More than 20°, less than 70° difference: 90° (followed by 45°)
More than 70° for inbound interceptions: 180° for at least 2 min (followed by 90°/45°)
(Of course there are other methods as well)
Standard rate turn: Bank angle = Airspeed/10+7 (°)
Roll out at bank angle/2 (°) before the desired heading
Think ahead, where to turn next?
Keep cool :)

Hi Karsten, thank you so much for having programmed VOR Tracker. I am doing my IR training at the moment and my instructors are pretty happy with my IR basic skills. I trained for a some time with your app. If I look back at when I saw this Video the first time a month ago and compare it to now, I am so happy that I kept on trying. Just wanted to share my experience, with all the viewers, as learning to fly with a VOR can be hard. I just wanted to add one thing: you will never fly Interceptions like the one shown in this Video, trainers will never give you a radial to intercept that is more than 90° from where you are, this example is nice to know but It will never happen in real life. (I showed this Video to a LH Captain and he told me this, as I was strugling at the beginning with the Interception Missions in your App). So my tipp for all the viewers who are getting into this, just open the map view and make the interception less than 90° this will be much easier in the beginning!
This is a very good video and I wish I had seen this before I spent hours in practicing on the VOR tracker. Thanks man.
Hi are there any mathematic formula for a localizer interception anticipation at 30/60/90 degrees
Hello. Thanks for the app! I have a question. How you know that “something more than 70 degrees requires some outbound flying”? What is the theory behind this? Where I can find it?
Karsten Heiland Thanks for your help!
Hi why you had to fly first parallel to the radial before you intercepted it instead going straight to 90 degrees then turn inbound 20?
Thank you so much for the reply! Now I understand...I am on first lessons of IFR simulator integrated atpl course and I am having trouble on understanding these things but now thanks to your videos Im slowly having things clear! I will download this app to master this. Can I use paypal for purchase?
I cant understand how you do this only by looking att the map once...perfect angles positioning yourself then bang on the target radial.
Btw great app like it very much.
Thank you very much, Nicholas! Well, it did take some time to practice 😀
how did you calculate 2 minutes 20 seconds outbound
It is rather a rule of thumb to fly outbound for 2 min after abeam the station. This is to give you some time actually flying inbound on the radial once intercepted.The additional 20 sec are for wind correction. Keep in mind that this is an exercise and not a procedure set in stone.
it says app not available in my country...
Hi! I don't know which country you live in, but I assume it is a tax issue with Google. iOS is available in most countries.
