CHAPTER SIX T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION<br />

station off the airway is used to identify the intersection, it is called the secondary station.<br />

Intersections are used to help determine the aircraft’s position along airways.<br />

Procedure.<br />

1. Determine the ETA to the intersection.<br />

2. Three to five minutes prior to the ETA:<br />

a. Tune and identify the secondary station, and check the position of the VOR needle.<br />

Do not change the course in the CDI.<br />

b. If the tail of the needle is not within 10° of the intersection radial:<br />

i. Retune the primary station and continue to track.<br />

ii. Wait a maximum of one minute.<br />

iii. Retune the secondary station, and once again, check to see if the tail of the<br />

needle is within 10° of the intersection radial.<br />

iv. Keep repeating until the tail of the needle is within 10° of the intersection radial.<br />

c. If the tail of the needle is within 10° of the intersection radial:<br />

i. Set the desired course in the CDI.<br />

ii. Hold the drift corrected heading carefully. This is the only means of remaining<br />

on the airway.<br />

iii. If passing straight through the intersection, wait for the CDI to center and note<br />

the time. Other than using the FMS, this will be the only means of remaining<br />

on course. If turning at the intersection, lead the turn to roll out on the new<br />

course and note the time when wings level, regardless of the position of the<br />

CDI. The distance to the secondary station must be considered when<br />

determining the number of degrees to lead the turn to the new course.<br />

iv. If passing straight through the intersection, retune the primary station after<br />

passing the intersection.<br />

3. Give a voice report if required.<br />

4. If already passed the intersection, make the turn to the new course if required, estimate the<br />

time the intersection was passed, retune the NAVAID as required, and continue to track and give<br />

a voice report if required.<br />
