Teroc,

You can guarantee that one day someone will want you to do it the other way round ie intercept a radial from an arc. Here's how: The 1 in 60 rule is the basis for this concept. The number of degrees to lead the turn by equals (60/DME of the arc) x 0.5% of the TAS. This assumes a rate one turn. eg with a 200 kt TAS flying round the 15 mile arc: 60/15 x 0.5% of 200 = 4 degrees.

For ease of MDR just remember that:

90kts requires anticipating by 27 deg/radius.

100kts requires anticipating by 30deg/radius.

120kts requires anticipating by 36deg/radius.
