T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION CHAPTER EIGHT<br />
815. ARCING APPROACH<br />
General. Establish the aircraft inbound on the final approach course.<br />
Description. An Arcing approach makes use of an arcing maneuver to position the aircraft<br />
inbound on the final approach course. Arcing approaches are normally identified by VOR/DME<br />
or TACAN in the approach plate margin, meaning DME is required.<br />
Arcing Speed. When executing Arcing approaches, maintain 150 KIAS until the lead turn onto<br />
the final approach course has been made, or until 5 NM prior to FAF.<br />
NOTE<br />
Use Radial/Arc and Arc/Radial intercepts to make the turn onto<br />
and off of the arc.<br />
Procedure. The following procedures assume clearance for the VOR/DME Z or TACAN Z<br />
RWY 13R (KNGP) approach (Figure 8-10) has been received and you are proceeding direct to<br />
the IAF.<br />
1. At the IAF:<br />
a. TIME – Not applicable.<br />
b. TURN – Turn in order to place the VOR needle at the 90º benchmark.<br />
c. TIME – Not applicable.<br />
d. TRANSITION – Comply with any altitude restrictions as required.<br />
NOTE<br />
On some approaches, the transition at the IAF could involve a<br />
descent and/or a reduction in airspeed.<br />
e. TWIST – Ensure the inbound course (143º) is set in the CDI.<br />
f. TALK – Give the appropriate voice report if required.<br />
2. Anticipate interception of the final approach course (referencing the tail of the VOR/DME<br />
needle and the CDI) while on the arc. Remember, the turn onto final approach course is a 90º<br />
intercept.<br />
3. When within 5 NM of FAF, make a level or descending transition to BAC.<br />
