RMIT Instructor Rating Mass Briefs Issue 1 /2004 Page 1 VOR INTERCEPTS Aim: To understand the principles of conducting VOR intercepts and to use them practically in aiding visual navigation. Application: - supplement visual navigation - night rating - instrument flying Revision: Limitations of VOR system V – T – A – G – S – Rated Coverage <5000 – 5000 to 10000 – 10000 to 15000 – Definitions: Command Sense - always use the VOR as a “command” instrument to avoid confusion. This means that HDG and OBS must be within 180 of each other. Brief 21 RMIT Flight Training VOR Intercepts RMIT Instructor Rating Mass Briefs Issue 1 /2004 Page 2 Principles: Intercept - the following five questions will ensure accurate intercepts: 1. Where am I? (Orientation) 2. Where do I want to be? 3. Which way do I turn? (Shortest way) 4. What HDG do I take up? 5. How do I know when I’m there? - intercepts to be conducted include: LIKE - Inbound to Inbound, and Outbound to Outbound; UNLIKE - Inbound to Outbound, and Outbound to Inbound. Considerations: Intercept Angle - Is at pilot’s discretion. Normally use 45 Outbound and until needle 30 of nose for Inbound. Air Exercise: Airmanship: - Taxi checks - TIT checks - Always ask the five questions - Ensure DG aligned to compass - Be aware of VOR limitations - Limit bank angle to rate one turns - Lookout.
