How to fly every IFR procedure
Four short guides, one per procedure, written to be read once and then flown. Each has a diagram that moves, the three or four numbers you actually need, and the questions people ask. When you have read one, the trainer is one click away and it flies the same procedure with the same maths.
How to fly a holding patternLearn to fly IFR holding patterns: the racetrack, the three ICAO entries (direct, offset or teardrop, parallel), the thumb method, timing and wind.1 min inbound leg, at or below 14,000 ft3 entries: direct, parallel, offset3× the inbound drift correction, flown outboundHow to fly a DME arcLearn to fly a DME arc: join it from a radial with a 90 degree turn, hold the distance with twist 10 and turn 10, and leave it on the end radial.10 / 10 turn 10 toward the station, twist the OBS 10 ahead0.5 NM lead for the 90 degree turn onto the arc at 120 kt±0.5 NM the tolerance you are working to on the DMEHow to intercept a VOR radialLearn to intercept and track a VOR radial or an NDB bearing: pick the method by angle, fly the 45 degree cut, the 90/45 method, homing and DME arcs.45° the everyday intercept angle, close to the station90° the angle that gets you onto a radial fastest, far out10° full scale on a VOR needle: two dots is five degreesHow to fly a procedure turnLearn the ICAO reversal procedures: the 45/180 and 80/260 procedure turns and the base turn, with the outbound timing, the turn side and the wind.45 / 180 the standard procedure turn: 45 off, one minute, 180 back80 / 260 two turns, no straight leg, same result36 ÷ min base turn divergence, in degrees, per minute of outbound leg
