Radial Inbound Interception using VOR Tracker - Get a grip on VOR and NDB navigation!

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 :)
