    • Computes the lead angle in degrees for intercepting a DME arc from a radial. The lead angle tells the pilot how many degrees of radial change before the desired arc intercept point to begin the turn onto the arc.

      Uses the turn radius at the given TAS and bank angle to determine how far ahead of the arc the turn should begin. Defaults to 25 degrees of bank if not specified.

      Parameters

      • arcRadiusNm: number

        DME arc radius in nautical miles.

      • trueAirspeedKt: number

        True airspeed in knots.

      • bankAngleDeg: number = 25

        Bank angle for the turn in degrees (default 25).

      Returns number

      Lead angle in degrees of radial change.
