600. TRACKING<br />
CHAPTER SIX<br />
ENROUTE PROCEDURES<br />
Description. Tracking is the process of flying direct to a station or waypoint, correcting for<br />
winds, such that the aircrafts track over the ground is the most direct route.<br />
Procedure.<br />
VOR<br />
1. Tune and identify the station.<br />
2. Turn to place the head of the VOR needle under the heading index of the HSI.<br />
NOTE<br />
Ensure that PFD source is set to VOR.<br />
3. Set the course in the CDI that centers up the CDI.<br />
4. Continue to track the course flying the heading that keeps the CDI centered up. This will<br />
in most cases require a crab into the wind.<br />
FMS<br />
1. Ensure that the direct to waypoint is the active waypoint in the FMS.<br />
2. Turn to place the head of the FMS needle under the heading index of the HSI.<br />
3. Center the FMS course needle.<br />
NOTE<br />
Ensure that PFD source is set to FMS.<br />
4. Track the course, flying the heading that keeps the CDI centered up.<br />
Common Errors.<br />
1. Flying the bearing pointer (homing), not the CDI.<br />
2. Failure to maintain the direct course.<br />
