I would have assumed that he said or meant the 270 radial since he said you
should go to ARD then 270. Why have me hit a VOR if you are going to vector me. I'm not saying my assumption is correct but I'm pretty sure that's how I would interpret such a command sequence no matter what the controller actually said. hmmm. "Guy Elden Jr." wrote in message ... "David Megginson" wrote in message ... "David Brooks" writes: I'm having a brain fart at the moment - what was the diff between flying the 270 radial upon crossing the VOR and turning 270 upon crossing? I wondered that. It makes a diff if there is a significant wind from the N or S, but he did say "very calm"! Here's a guess. I don't remember what direction he was coming from, but let's say it was from the south in perfectly calm winds. If he waited until the flag flipped then turned left to 270 in a rate one, he would end up maybe a mile to the north of the 270 radial flying parallel to it (assuming that VOR twist was the same as magvar). To intercept the radial quickly after station passage, he'd probably need to turn to a heading of 255 or so until the CDI centred. Yep, that's essentially what happened. I was heading southwest to the VOR, and when the flag flipped, started the turn. Took about 15 seconds to get to 270, and that's when I started trying to clarify the situation. Track outbound on the 270 radial, or just maintain a 270 heading. -- Guy Elden Jr. |
