What is an inbound course aviation?

If your are heading 360 (or any other heading for that matter) and flying directly to a VOR, you are “inbound” to it. If you are heading 360 (or any other heading) and flying directly away from a VOR you are outbound.

When operating above 14000 MSL How long should the inbound leg of a hold be?

11/2 minutes
Inbound Leg At or below 14,000 feet MSL: 1 minute. Above 14,000 feet MSL: 11/2 minutes.

How do you intercept a course?

Fly the intercept heading Note to which side the needle deflected (left or right.) To intercept the course, fly towards the needle with the intercept angle you chose in step 2. *This assumes you are flying in the general cardinal direction to match the desired track.

What is outbound course?

What is Outbound Training? Outbound Training is a training and facilitation methodology used to enhance the effectiveness and performance of employees through use of Experiential Learning​ Activities and Games and Adult Learning Principles.

What is inbound and outbound in aviation?

In a normal roundtrip flight, where a traveler is going to one destination and returning to the place they came from, the outbound flight is the flight to the destination and the inbound flight is the flight back to the origin city.

When should you begin timing the outbound leg on your first turn in a hold?

180° turn
Start timing as you begin your first 180° turn, stop timing as your roll out. Double this time to establish your time to make a 360° turn. You can adjust outbound leg timing to nail the EFC, example follows. If you adjust your speed as the holding continues, time the next turn to establish a new 360° time.

What is an EFC time?

Definition: EFC time is short for expect further clearance time. It’s also sometimes referred to as a release time. The EFC time “is the point at which a crew expects to be set free from a holding pattern or exempted from a ground stop,” Smith said.

What type of turns should be made while holding?

A standard holding pattern uses right-hand turns and takes approximately 4 minutes to complete (one minute for each 180-degree turn, and two one-minute straight ahead sections).

What is vor Reverse Sensing?

In “reverse sensing,” the instrument is displaying exactly what you’re telling it to display. It takes some effort from the pilot to not become “reversed.” Where pilots get confused and think that the instrument is reversed is when the OBS is set to the reciprocal of the course they want to fly.

What does the CDI needle mean on a VOR?

For example, if you have selected the 90-degree radial (on the course index) but your heading is 270 degrees, the CDI needle is to the left, and the To/From flag is indicating To, then the 90-degree radial is actually right of you and the VOR is actually behind you and not in front of your aircraft.

How do you fly a VOR radial inbound?

To fly a specific VOR radial inbound to a VOR station, use the OBS to place the radial you want to fly inbound on the reciprocal course index on the bottom of the VOR indicator. You should have a To indication, and the CDI needle will deflect in the direction you need to turn to get to the station.

How do you set the intercept angle on a VOR?

Set the OBS with your desired outbound radial on the TOP. If the needle on your VOR is to the RIGHT, then you need ADD your intercept angle to your desired radial. If the needle on your VOR is to the LEFT, then you need SUBTRACT your intercept angle from your desired radial. Turn to your intercepting heading.

What is the difference between Terminal VOR and low altitude VOR?

Terminal VORs are designed to be clearly received up to 25 nautical miles from the station at altitudes of 1,000 feet agl through 12,000 feet agl. Low-altitude VORs are meant to be used from 1,000 feet agl through 18,000 feet agl at distances of up to 40 nm from the station.
