Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

WIND CORRECTION

ending in 2 for the arc.
ii. Set the OBS to read e.g. 012° and adjust the
heading to read 282° i.e. 90° to the set radial.
The VOR CDI will initially show 5° or ½ scale
deflection. As the aircraft is flown the CDI
will move towards the centre then out to the
right as the set radial is crossed. When the
CDI shows ½ scale out to the right, the
aircraft will be 5° passed the selected radial.
The heading flown at 90° to the selected
radial is known as the tangent heading.
iii. This procedure is followed until the 282°
radial is approached when the aircraft is
turned right onto a heading of approximately
102° to follow the radial inbound for the
approach.
i. If as the selected radials are crossed it is
observed that the distance is less than the
desired 15nm the aircraft is drifting toward
the VOR and the heading should be adjusted
to compensate for the wind. If the distance is
increasing the heading should be adjusted
towards the VOR.
This procedure may be used for both precision and non-precision approaches. If there is no procedure
published at the instructor’s home base it should be possible to improvise by adapting the current VOR
or ILS approach in such a way that the student can practice this manoeuvre.
iv. THE LANDING OR MISSED
APPROACH
5. CONSIDERATIONS OF AIRMANSHIP AND ENGINE HANDLING
AIRMANSHIP
i. The student must have a mental picture of the procedure.
ii. The student must be aware of altitude requirements.
iii. The student must plan the approach properly.
iv. The QNH must be set correctly.
v. The necessary clearance for the approach must be obtained.
ENGINE HANDLING
i. The instructor could use this opportunity to
practice the circle to land manoeuvre or carry
out a missed approach with practice as
required until this manoeuvre is satisfactory.
i. The student should be fully aware of all engine indications.
ii. The student should be able to manage all aspects of engine handling without prompting from the
instructor.
iii. Fuel conservation should be a high priority for the student especially during holding.
6. SIMILARITY TO PREVIOUS EXERCISES
This exercise is new in many respects but is similar to VOR tracking and the VOR and ILS approaches
as well as the basic flying such as straight and level etc.
