Intercepting a Track Using the RBI Where am I? Where do I want to go? How do I get there? ? Orientate the aeroplane relative to the NDB, and to the planned track. ? Turn to take up a suitable intercept heading, after considering where you want to join the planned track. ? Maintain the intercept heading. ? As you come up to the intercept point, turn to the planned track, and apply a suitable WCA to maintain it. Visualising Where You Are and Where You Want to Go The DG can assist greatly in visualising the situation. What if you wish to intercept the intended track inbound to the NDB? All you need to do is visualise the intended track on the heading indicator. With a model aeroplane on the tail of the needle tracking as intended, it become quite clear what turns are necessary to intercept the track. If you become disoriented, a simple procedure is to take up the heading of the intended track. Even though not on track, the aeroplane will at least be parallel to it, and the ADF needle will indicate which way to turn to intercept it. Visualising the intercept. An inefficient intercept of track. Different intercept of track. Intercepting an Inbound Track NM Example: Intercepting track 340 inbound from south of the station.* * Note: An aeroplane takes some distance to turn, and so you should anticipate the intended track by commencing the turn onto track just before MB340 is reached. You can do this by observing the rate at which the ADF needle falls toward -060 and commence the turn accordingly. Another means of achieving a smooth intercept is to reduce the closing angle as the inbound track is approached, say from 45°to 30°to 15°and, finally, to zero as the track is intercepted. Example: Intercepting track 055 inbound from radar vector 010. Steps to be taken to intercept an inbound track: ? Orientate the aeroplane. ? Alter your heading to intercept the intended track. The ADF needle will continue to point at the NDB and so the relative bearing
