How to Perform a DME arc

Steps:

1. Intercept the arc: Fly to the arc at the published DME from the station.

2. Twist 10:

   • Turn your OBS (course selector) 10° ahead of the radial you will fly along the arc.

   • This sets you up to fly slightly ahead of the radial, helping maintain the arc.

3. Turn 10:

   • As the DME increases/decreases, turn 10° toward or away from the station every time you need to correct.

   • Small corrections keep you on the arc without overbanking.

4. Intercept final approach:

   • When you reach the end of the arc, turn to intercept the final approach course.

Tips:

• Anticipate wind drift and correct early.

• Small, timely heading changes are better than constant over-correcting.
