This technique although precise, requires constant input of heading and OBS change(10 degrees) , one can also try to fly DME arc by maintaining bearing TO the station always on the extreme right or 90 degree to the right on the DGI in case of right hand DME arc & conversely in left hand arc, it is much easier to execute if you have a RMI ,maintain the RMI needle to the right 90'' (station to the right ).
Just watch your DME and make small changes. Wait for your inbound course and turn 90 degrees and boom your done. Turn 10 twist 10 is not needed. Yes its helpful and looks better. Can't fail a IFR checkride for the method you use just can't be more the 1 mile off.
Another great and very helpful video. I was wondering if you have played with the stability settings in X-Plane? I have a heck of a time keeping a heading (tends to drop the right wing), the aileron trim seems overly sensitive as well. I end up doing most of the flying with autopilot. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you for the video! Question…if you do use the lead radials for the start of the inbound turn, should you use a 45 degree intercept angle to the final approach course?
1. It would have been nice to see the entire plate. You had room for it. 2. I would fly this DME arc on the number two VOR from the start. I see no need to use the number one VOR to get setup for this approach. While you can do that, as you did, I prefer to get my number one Nav radio setup for the ILS approach, inbound course set, ready to go. That way, as you near the end of your arc, you don’t have to be distracted with tuning and identifying the ILS and setting it up. You can focus on the end of the arc transition to the ILS.
This information is being presented at a rate much too fast for novices, such as me. I want to understand ILS landings, how to read a flight chart, and how to understand correct approach techniques. I am not a pilot and with my ability to get easily distracted I decided years ago not to pursue pilot training. But I've loved Microsoft's Flight Simulators for the past 25 years, and the knowledge Jon is presenting here is useful in performing ILS landings on the sim. Is there a more basic tutorial which might be useful for me? Apologies to the serious pilots here, most of whom will have no difficulty following Jon's video. And I do appreciate these videos, just need them dumbed down (or slowed down) a bit to ingest the requisite knowledge. All the best to FLY8MA!
Very cool! I guess my hopes for a simple X-Plane plugin have been squashed. :) I use ForeFlight on my iPad which works great on the sim, but sometimes it would be nice to see it on the screen. Thanks!
When the next radial you are going to twist to is the same as the radial of the localizer. The radial of the localizer would be 214, so as he turns 135-145-155-165-175-185-195-205... he would know once he has aligned with radial 205 that he should be thinking about turning onto the ILS/LOC as the needle starts to come in for radial 215, at this point also having the ILS tuned on the other NAV, as you approach the VOR215 radial on the arc, you would notice the ILS 034 course begins to come in.
@@kieranharvey4576 If I were to begin the approach at CHILD or TANKR can I intercept the localizer from there or do I need to fly outbound on the localizer then procedure turn back inbound. I noticed that neither of those feeder routes say "NoPT" so I guess I am to assume I need to fly the PT??
You need to see what is actually being affected in the plane to understand the arc. The view he gives of the plate is more than sufficient enough for you to understand the concept
Love the transponder code!
I realize it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?
@Ivan Kace flixportal :P
@Jeremias Devin thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !
@Ivan Kace No problem =)
Came here to say it but you beat me a loooong time ago.
Are you being intercepted?
Watched a few vids on this and can confidently say that this video was by far the best explanation!
Best dme arc video on RUclips . Big thanks !
Thank you, Jon for taking time on making these amazing tutorials! I learn more on these videos than some ground schools!
Always happy to help!
Thanks for all of your great videos and instruction Jon! Pass my PPL checkride today! Skies the limit!!!
I love that approach. Shoot it weekly.

Best flight training channel imo, love!
Well explained, thank you for sharing !

Awesome video, incredibly helpful! Thank you!
excellent lesson

Excellent explanation of DME arcs. Thank you
Gold Seal instruction right here
Thank you for the video!

Great explanation. Thank you!
Of course!! Feel free to share it around!

Haha squark 7500
Why are you hijacking yourself?
‘Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead’
Very good!
Cant we fly with TO indication while in the arc.
The gods sent you to us.
Yep. That's a sporty transponder code....

Great stuff
This is great, thanks! Really helpful. What are you using to geo-reference the plane on the plate?
Hey Joe, this is something we do in post production editing with special effects in Adobe premiere and after effects.
Very cool! I guess my hopes for a simple X-Plane plugin have been squashed. :) I use ForeFlight on my iPad which works great on the sim, but sometimes it would be nice to see it on the screen. Thanks!
Like your emergency squawking ;) But great video, this was always a little fuzzy for me on how DME arcs worked. Thanks for the work on it!
Got to make sure ATC knows where you are at all times. :D
thanks for this!
Who gave you the squawk?
75, taken alive!
XPlane?
I’m still confused, when do you turn towards your inbound course on the approach?
When the next radial you are going to twist to is the same as the radial of the localizer. The radial of the localizer would be 214, so as he turns 135-145-155-165-175-185-195-205... he would know once he has aligned with radial 205 that he should be thinking about turning onto the ILS/LOC as the needle starts to come in for radial 215, at this point also having the ILS tuned on the other NAV, as you approach the VOR215 radial on the arc, you would notice the ILS 034 course begins to come in.

Good ole hijacking lmao
Too bad that the presenter waited until almost the end of the video to display a full-on closeup of the "overhead view" section of the approach plate.
You need to see what is actually being affected in the plane to understand the arc. The view he gives of the plate is more than sufficient enough for you to understand the concept
