- Pilots and students practicing VOR intercept geometry
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes the drawn flight path from rounded radial values and calls itself a teaching aid, not a published repositioning procedure.
Field notes
The route model draws a capture turn, marks its starting point, and ends tangent to the selected radial; it also explains when a grey leg is used to gain distance. Its calculations distinguish whole-degree displayed radial values from exact positions used for the drawn path. The page cites the FAA Instrument Flying Handbook, Michael Fröhling’s textbook, Navy guidance, and USAF lead-angle fractions, while cautioning that school rules and limits differ.
