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 />
